Delete IP Domains

Like the associations between performance statistics and managed items, IP domain associations are stored with items in the UC Monitor database. As a result, you cannot delete IP domains from UC Monitor. Deleted IP domains are marked as inactive in UC Monitor and not exposed in reports that display new data. For example, you can deregister and then reregister the UC Monitor data source. At the first synchronization, the inactive IP domain is sent to CA Performance Center because managed items in the UC Monitor database retain the association.

In most cases, the following work flow is recommended.

Follow these steps:

  1. Delete the IP domain from CA Performance Center. For more information, see the CA Performance Center Administrator Guide.
  2. Change the assignment in the IP Domain field for the deleted domain. For more information, see Change Collection Device Properties.

    Note: Select another IP domain for the collector. Otherwise, the collector associates items with the default IP domain.

    Data that was previously collected and associated with the deleted IP domain remains associated with it and is displayed as such in historical reports.
