CLI commands to delete graphs and data sources.

[richardmc]

Hello, just wondering if there is a way that we can delete data sources and graphs via cli in the same way that they can be created? We run an ISP that requires operational staff to monitor up to 100 data sources (customer subinterface traffic) for a period of time and then delete the graphs/data sources to avoid filling up the 1 minute poller we've deployed. It would be great if we could programmically remove graphs/data sources after a week via a cron process etc.

Alternatively could this be achieved with some plugin development?

Regards, Richard M

remove_graph and remove_device are in SVN (I wouldn't use them for production - that's not true, I would use them for production, I wouldn't _recommend_ them for production)

They should either work, or only require minor tweaking to work with 087

Thanks for that. I'll certainly try the development version and will provide some feedback if necessary.

Tried the SVN version of remove_graph.php and had a couple of errors as shown below. The graphs and data sources seem to be deleted ok however?

[root@210 cli]# php remove_graph.php --graph-id=12 --force

You can ignore that error for now, it will just cause the script to be a little slow.

Did anyone get the SVN version of remove_graph.php to work with 0.8.7b?

Can you post the steps to get/install ???

TIA!

There will be no support for it in 087. It's scheduled for 088. But nobody will stop you from changing it to your needs.
