Delete Service
The Delete Service option allows you to delete a parent service or child service with the respective monitoring, metric calculations associated with the service.
The service definition is deleted immediately, and the removal of service references in service alarms, service KPIs, predictions, health, and so on, is performed in the background in small batches to reduce the overhead. All the data that is associated with entities within the service such as anomalies, inventory, and so on is retained. You must fulfill the following conditions in order to delete a service:
- If the deleted service does not have any parent service, it would be considered as an individual or stand-alone service.
- If you delete a first child service level under a parent service, the next child service level moves up the hierarchy.
- If you delete a parent service that has a child service that is shared by another parent service, then that child service does not get deleted but the relationship with the parent service gets removed.
- If a child service is deleted, you must manually update the weight of the service by clicking the percentage value. Ensure that the total weight of the sub-service is equal to 100, else the edges appear in the red color.
You cannot create a service with the same name to the one that you are deleting, you must wait until the delete operation is completed (You see a message as
Service is pending deletion
). You must create a service with another unique name.Steps to Delete a Service
