Issue/Introduction

After restarting all nodes (2 DB + 6 processing). we are seeing a lot of errors related to duplicate entries from all these nodes: Any reason why we are getting this and how to resolve it.

Environment

Release : 10.0

Component :

Cause

Caused by manual deleting entries in the counters table.  This needs to be handle more efficiently than truncating 

Resolution

The purging records can be done in policy/task.  Uploaded a policy/service that will work on Gateway 10.x using mysql 8

Created a backend service that be added as a scheduled task that will delete records from the counters table

The service configuration can be modified, the uploaded service will purge 4000 records at a time that have not been updated in 3 months, it will loop 50 times for a total 200,000.

Restart of the gateway to clear memory should not be needed since look to be stale entries 

HOW TOO:

There are objects that need to be created (JDBC connection to the SSG DB, the service, then the task)

Create Policy

Import XML

Modify JDBC assertions to use the JDBC connection created in step 1 (Choose one connection)

Task -> Global Settings -> Manager Scheduled Tasks

Add
