[Feat]: ability to delete unseen, stale or live nodes (other than Offline) #690
Comments

I found you can delete them if you delete the parent and re-install fresh on that parent machine. You have to remove the parent and all vnodes from the cloud dashboard and then when you re-claim the parent host it will set things up fresh. |
I tried to erase my historical data directly to see if that would clear it up, as a workaround until netdata makes an official way to do this. I opened up the list of stale nodes: and mouse-over'd the stale node to delete and copied a link like https://EXAMPLE.ORG/v2/spaces/DOMAINTLD/rooms/local/nodes/888586af-e5ab-47f2-8094-c4948fd1243a. Then I extracted the UUID and deleted the folder that holds its data on my parent node:
On rebooting, the charts are gone, but the node itself is still listed as "stale" So that wasn't enough. I poked around some more and found this sqlite database:
annoyingly, host_id, presumably the UUID, is stored in binary, while the rest is stored as text, but I was able to remove the entry with:
After another
the stale node is now gone from my dashboard. 🎉 Unfortunately this is not very clean. I believe there are still entries in the |
I had an installation problem with a node and now it's marked as "Stale" and "delete is disabled". The node is dead and will never be coming back. How do I get rid of this thing? Is there really no way to delete this?? |

Problem
As a user i can only delete "offline" nodes from NC. I should be able to delete any nodes i want.
We need to split the problem into cases with node status as a key:
Example:
I had a group of 11 nodes streaming to my parent. I deleted these VM's since i no longer need them. However i still see them in Netdata Cloud and am unable to delete them from NC.
Should i not be able to delete them? Unsure if this is a bug or feature request.
These nodes are gone an never coming back so i would like to remove them from NC. I guess maybe eventually the data for them might fall away on my parent and maybe then they would be offline in NC maybe and then i could delete perhaps. Unsure.
