Title
Deleting a Registry Variable -
Description
When a registry variable is deleted is it truly deleted or simply marked as unviewable (like deleted agents). If someone were to delete a registry variable and has no idea what was in it in order to recreate, once deleted, can it be brought back?
-
Resolution
The answer is yes, it is deleted. It does not behave like Agents being deleted and the agent properties remain. The registry variable and it's values are deleted.
If you have a recent Support Bundle you should be able to recreate the variable based on the information that would be found in the MonitoringPolicies_yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss.xml file.
For Example, I have a variable, Test. I created it with type integer and a value of 1234. If I generate a support bundle while it's still around I can search the Monitoring Policies for it.<registry-variable name="Test" value-class="java.lang.Integer">
<values>
<topology-type-registry-value default-value="java.lang.Integer;1234" id="8a8181b7299047c6012a68171fb36508" is-user-created="true" variable-name="Test" topology-type="TopologyObject">
<performance-calendars/>
</topology-type-registry-value>
</values>
</registry-variable>
