Issue/Introduction

After looking at the DX OI inventory, there appear to be a lot of entities that we expect to have been deleted - the TTL in apm_bridge probe is 43200s so entities should be deleted after 12hr. 

How can we check the TTL of an given entity?

Environment

• DX Operational Intelligence 2x
• DX AIOps 2x

Resolution

The endTime of the entity will tell when the entity will expire 

 

Option 1:  If you know the externalID of the entity use the following DX Platform > TAS query using postman

 

EndPoint: <http(s)://apmservices-gateway-<your domain>/tas/graph/query

Set the Authorization

Set the Body = 

 

Example:

 

 

{

    "filter": {

        "op": "VERTEX",

        "externalId": [

            "ACN:V-CAPC$Spectrum-1301c6e7-3868-4b26-b530-f21ef634bcfd"

        ]

    }

}

 

 

Option 2: If you know the name of the entities, use the alternative query

 

Example:

 

{

    "filter": {

        "op": "TAKE_VERTICES",

        "input": {

            "op": "ATTRIBUTE",

            "expressions": [

                {

                    "name": "name",

                    "values": [

                        "entityName1",

                        "entityName2"

                    ],

                    "operator": "IN"

                }

            ]

        }

    },

    "projection": "NO_TYPE"

}

 

 

From the output, convert epoch to date format, you can use the epoch converter tool

 

"endTime": 1723692405723
