CirrusCleanup of Inactive pool and VS
Is this possible through script to simultaneously delete the multiple inactive pools and VS? If yes, could you share a Knowledge Based article for a step-by-step procedure on how to do it.

AdminMy first question on preparing a script for this would be to ask how you're identifying inactive objects. Is that by policy (ie..from a list or spreadsheet) or from actual inactivity in traffic? The rest is pretty straightforward with a local tmsh script or remote script with API calls as mkyrc mentions.

MVPi like to use TCP - analytics / connections to check for traffic over time. Once i rule out your typical noise makers ( certificate scanning tools, and app monitor tools (solarwinds/ new relic etc.) I can usually determine by traffic divided by box uptime to see if a vip is in use. I also check the adjusted ratio of traffic comparing VS - and pool, if traffic is not being processed by the pool, its less needed.
Another fun place to check is IHealth. it takes a minute to pull a qkview and get it uploaded and analyized but its worth it.
