AVR: Deleting Overview Widgets leaves leftovers in bigip.conf.
Minor, some unneeded objects in the database, but they don't impact anything.
Any Overview page had to be accessed in the past.
After deleting the widget(s): Option 1: Run in command line: php -r 'coapi_persist_all();' Option 2, via GUI: Open any configuration object (i.e. Virtual Server properties), and Save it (without changing any settings). Note: There is a single placeholder gui-widget object that will remain on all pages. Also, if there are widgets for an overview page that contains multiple AVR modules (like DoS Overview, which has L7 DoS, L3 DoS, DNS and SIP) and some of them are hidden from GUI due to provisioning, they cannot be deleted from GUI as well. To completely get rid of all Overview widget objects, one can run this script (delete_widgets.php), can be found at \\il-fs-01\ts_cases\1-1811544779 : <?php $q = coapi_query('classification_overview_selection'); if (!$q) exit; while($widget = coapi_fetch($q)) { echo "Deleting widget #{$widget['object_id']}..."; coapi_delete($widget, $widget['partition_id']); } echo "Saving configuration..."; coapi_persist_all(); echo "Done";
Deleting Overview Widgets no longer leaves unneeded objects in the database.
