Title: DCIs in "instance" template
Post by: dvl on May 07, 2021, 09:55:46 AM
Hello,

we have found DCIs on a node (named "example") which are populated from a template "example" (identical to node name).  We never created this template (maybe leftover from unbind dci?).

We would like to delete those DCIs, but they're re-appearing after a minute. Obviously they should be deleted from the template "example", but its not visible in the console.

We're running 3.1.343.

Regards,
Dirk

If DCI has node name in "Template" column this means that this DCI was created by instance discovery. Somewhere on the node there should be prototype DCI, which defines how instance discovery is happening.

e.g. in the attache image DCI with ID 4957 is instance prototype. It's coming from Generic UNIX template. Other DCI are created with instance discovery based on this DCI.
