How to remove system properties
How can I remove the system.sysinfo or system.sysoid properties from a device? I have turned off SNMP on two devices, but these are sticky properties which are causing issues such as SNMP modules being applied to it and alerting because no data is collected.
So far, I've found the API doesn't allow this.

·4 months agoYou can try using the !hostproperty command in the Collector Debug. It can add/del/mod system properties although I'm not 100% sure about those. If this was really a situation where the wrong device was added (like the wrong IP) I would suggest just redoing the device fully.

OP4 months ago · EditedThanks Mike, I did end up adding the device again to start clean and that worked.
This was a case where I was monitoring a Linux device with SNMP, then we standardized to monitoring all Linux devices with SSH. The first few we had added were stuck with both ssh (with data) and SNMP modules (with no data) until I removed them.
