Deleting a variable from a configuration

After you open or get a configuration and it is displayed in the main window, you can edit the configuration by deleting variables. The deleted variables and their values are removed from the list of variables.

Deleting the variable means that it is not included when applying a configuration to a remote agent or when saving to disk. Deleting does not remove the variable from a remote agent's configuration. To delete a variable from a remote agent's configuration, modify the variable to include the "DELETE" change command in the variable's change entry list.

Note

You cannot delete default variables from the configuration. If you attempt to delete a default variable, a warning message says that the variable cannot be deleted, and the variable is left unchanged.

Before you begin
