Deleting profilers in VM-based environments

In VM-based environments, deleting the profiler cluster removes all the Data Compliance profiler rules and other updates to the specific cluster. It could also cause loss of data specific to currently applied rules on the deleted profiler cluster.

To overcome this situation, when you decide to delete the profiler cluster or (in VM-based environments), there is a provision to retain the status of the Cluster Sensitivity Profiler rules:
  • If your profiler cluster or profiler jobs have rules that are not changed or updated, you can directly delete them or the profiler cluster.
  • If the rules were modified or updated, you have an option to download the modified rules along with deletion. The modified rules consist of the suspended system rules and the deployed custom rules. Using the downloaded rules, you can manually add or modify them to your newly added profiler jobs or the profiler cluster.
  1. On the Profilers page, select the data lake from the drop-down.
  2. Click Delete Profiler in the action menu () for the profiler you want to delete.
  3. If you agree, select the warning message: I understand this action cannot be undone.
