Removing instance patterns

When you remove an instance pattern, the instance will not be removed on the deployment hosts. Removal on the deployment host must be done manually.

Example for manual removal

To completely remove a nevisAuth instance, execute the following commands on the target host:

systemctl stop nevisauth@<name>
systemctl disable nevisauth@<name>
nevisauth inst remove <name>

<name>: The sanitized pattern name. Sanitized means that spaces and other special characters are replaced by underscore.

Removing Multiple Patterns

Removing multiple patterns at once can be done via batch actions. Perform the following steps to remove patterns in batch:

1. Select multiple patterns.
2. Click on the batch actions menu.
3. Click Remove selected action.
4. Confirm the warning message.
