Delete traffic filters

Delete any unused traffic filters from your subscription account. Here is the overall flow for deleting traffic filters in StackOps Elastic:

1. Submit a deletion request—Users must use Console to create a traffic filter deletion request.
2. Review and approve—The assigned approver reviews and approves the request on Console. Once approved, the traffic filter will be deleted.

Before you begin

You can only delete traffic filters that meet the following requirements:

• Approved (active).
• Not currently associated with any deployment. Learn how to dissociate a traffic filter in Associate / Dissociate traffic filters.

Request and approval authorisation

The table below shows who can request and approve traffic filter deletion requests. The requester and approver cannot be the same person.

Submitting a deletion request

Who can do this?
- Technical Admins / Tenant Admins
- Subscription Admins / Tenant Managers

To submit a deletion request:

1. Log in to Console using TechPass.

2. Go to Products and select StackOps.

3. Go to Traffic Filters and select the traffic filter to be deleted.

   

4. Select Delete Traffic Filter.

   

5. Under Approver details, select the required approvers.

6. (Optional) Enter any additional information in Remarks.

7. Click Submit > Confirm.

   The request is now Pending approval.

   

When at least one of the assigned approver approves the request, the traffic filter gets deleted.

Managing traffic filter requests

Use Console to approve / reject or cancel requests.

Approve / reject requests

Who can do this?
- Appointed Subscription Admins / Tenant Managers

Appointed approvers can log in to Console to approve or reject requests. The requester will be notified via email once the request is approved or rejected. Refer to Console documentation for more information about approvals.

Cancel requests

The requester can cancel a pending request in Console if needed. Approved/rejected requests cannot be cancelled.
