Right way to delete objects in ACI

[Johannes Luther]

HI ACI pro's,

According to the REST API guide, there are two ways to delete an object in ACI:

- HTTP DELETE operation (no examples given)

- HTTP POST operation, referencing the object DN with the attribute "status":"deleted"

What is the most common and correct way? Or or both methods equally valid?

Depending on the version, both methods will work.  On earlier version, only the post method was supported with the status property change.

Hi Johannes

From my point of view, the easiest way is sending a HTTP DELETE to the DN of the object.

For example: Delete EPG "WEB1" under application profile "PROD" in tenant "XYZ":

DELETE https://<APIC>/api/mo/uni/tn-XYZ/ap-PROD/epg-WEB1.json

HTH
