Delete a tag via Rest API with no value

quilleo — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:05:11 GMT

I have tags that look like this:

tags": [

{

"context": "CONTEXTLESS",

"key": "[VMware]Application:",

"stringRepresentation": "[VMware]Application:"

NOTE the : at the end of the key

When I try to delete it with this entitySelector I get the below error:

entityId(%22HOST-037D9E43BDBCD7DA%22)&tag=%5BVMware%5DApplication%3A

"error": {

"code": 400,

"message": "Constraints violated.",

"constraintViolations": [

{

"path": "key",

"message": "may not be empty",

"parameterLocation": "QUERY",

"location": null

{

"path": "entitySelector",

"message": "Parsing error in entitySelector near 1-based column range [34,59) : ’&tag=[VMware]Application:’",

"parameterLocation": "QUERY",

"location": null

}

]

}

I have tried a bunch of combinations based on the documumenation and I get getting similar errors.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi @quilleo, I've moved this question from the "Community discussions" sub-forum, as that space is reserved for Community-related questions 🙂 here your question has a higher chance of getting a solution!

Hi, I had no issues deleting this tag.

Created a manual tag to match yours [VMware]Application:
Use the environment API v2 DELETE /tags endpoint to target my a single service (you probably want to target many services rather than just one).
Set the key to [VMware]Application:
The tag is deleted
