analytics gui-widget

How to safely remove from the bigip.conf file "analytics gui-widget" entries (12.x) ? There are more than 200 of these entries, they look like that:

 

analytics gui-widget /Common/uwid54b4f73d85c22 {

 

cent-report-destination-type self

 

gui-pagecode _ov_summary

 

metrics { errors }

 

module network

 

order-on-page 4

 

period 86400

 

username p115565

 

view-by fw_error_reason

 

widget-type 3

 

}

 

?

    Just edit /config/bigip.conf with vi or nano editor in bash and simply remove them manually from the file. Save file and perform the following assuming you are still in bash.

     

    1. tmsh
    2. load sys config verify
    3. load sys config
    4. save sys config

    Basically this entries are always automatically generated so whoever will click analitycs module and cusomizes dashboard it will trigger these objects to reappear.

    Hello,

     

    In my case, this object generate error during upgrade. So we prefer to modify this before to create partition with the new version.

     

    To do this, I follow this instruction from Stanislas Piron :

     

    • modify bigip.conf with vi
    • delete object what you want
    • just after to save bigip.conf, execute this command : touch /service/mcpd/forceload
    • and reboot just after previous command : reboot

    For me, it resolved my problem.

     

    Best regards
