  • How to unregister/delete a system registered to console.redhat.com inventory?

Resolution

There are multiple ways to unregister/delete a system profile from the Inventory.

Procedure 1: Using insights-client command itself

# insights-client --unregister

Procedure 2: From Red Hat Satellite 6.9 and earlier UI.

  • Login to Satellite WebUI
  • Navigate to Insights -> Inventory
  • Select system profiles which need to be unregistered
  • Click on Actions -> Unregister

Procedure 3: Using console.redhat.com UI

  • Login to console.redhat.com
  • Click on Inventory
  • Locate the host to be removed and click on the vertical ellipse to the end of the row then click on Delete.
  • Follow any additional steps that are provided as prompted

Procedure 4: Using API call.

  • API documentation

    #for i in `curl -s -u uesrname:password https://cloud.redhat.com/api/inventory/v1/hosts?fqdn=SYSTEM_NAME | grep -o '"id":"[^"]*' | grep -o '[^"]*$'` ; do curl -u username:password -X DELETE https://cloud.redhat.com/api/inventory/v1/hosts/$i -H  "accept: */*" ; done

username:password - Red Hat access portal credentials 
SYSTEM_NAME - system's FQDN

 

NOTE: For the last two procedures, the user logged into console.redhat.com or being used with the API, should have the Inventory administrator role associated in order to be able to delete hosts.
