Deleting a Site
Deleting a site is an irreversible operation. v0.4.0 Before deletion, Pulse displays a list of all affected objects and requires confirmation by entering the site's name.
What Happens Upon Deletion
When a site is deleted:
- All site agents are disconnected and deleted
- All scan tasks are deleted
- All devices (Workers) associated with this site are removed from the system
- All site metric history is deleted
- Activity Center data related to the site is deleted
It is impossible to restore a deleted site and its data. If you need to temporarily disable a site, use the pause function on all agents instead of deleting it.
How to Delete a Site
Pulse uses multi-step confirmation to protect against accidental deletion:
- Go to the Sites section
- Click ⋯ next to the desired site → Delete
- A confirmation dialog will open, displaying a list of everything that will be deleted:
- Number of agents
- Number of scan tasks
- Number of devices
- Enter the exact site name in the confirmation field
- Click and hold the countdown button until it completes
Only after completing all steps will the site be deleted.
Alternative to Deletion
If a site is temporarily not in use or undergoing maintenance, we recommend the following instead of deletion:
- Pause all agents — devices will go Offline, data will not be collected, but the configuration will be preserved
- Disable all Scan Tasks — scanning will stop, but agents will remain connected
Operation Throttling
Operation Throttling is a mechanism that controls the speed of sending group commands to devices. `v0.9.0` Instead of sending a command to all devices simultaneously, Pulse breaks the operation into packets and pauses between them.
Firmware Sets
A firmware set is a collection of firmware files for different device models, grouped under a single name. Available since `v0.3.0`. Sets allow you to pre-prepare the necessary firmware versions and quickly apply them to devices without searching for files each time.
