Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
You've recently deleted a port mirroring profile through NSX UI.
Trying the below DELETE API call to delete the port mirroring sessions, Returns status 500 Internal Server Error with the following output:
DELETE /policy/api/v1/infra/port-mirroring-profiles/<port-mirroring-profile-id>
Output:
{
"module_name": "common-services",
"error_message": "General error has occurred.",
"details": "java.lang.NullPointerException",
"error_code": 100
}
After that the port mirroring session gets stuck in deletion in progress state, and you are unable to create more port mirroring profiles.
In NSX-T Manager log
/var/log/nsxapi.log
the following messages can be seen:
