Issue/Introduction

How to use the "remove_not_present_items.sh" script to remove not present components.

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : PM Data Aggregator

Resolution

The documentation below outlines usage of the script:

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-netops/21-2/Performance-Monitoring-with-DX-Performance-Management/building/manage-devices/delete-components-that-are-not-present.html

Note that if on the Data Aggregator if you have "Synchronize component items that are not currently present on the monitored device" to synchronize not present components to the DX Netops Portal per:

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-netops/21-2/Performance-Monitoring-with-DX-Performance-Management/administrating/manage-data-sources/configure-a-data-source.html

Then this removes them from the DX Netops portal as well after they are removed and the Portal syncs with the DA. If you do not have this checked, then they are not synchronized to the Portal in the first place.
