Delete Metrics Context
The Delete Metrics Context operation deletes a metrics context.
HTTP method and URI
DELETE /api/services/metrics/context/{metrics-context-id}
In this request, the URI variable {metrics-context-id} is the identifier of the metrics context object for which metrics are to be obtained.
Description
This operation deletes the metrics context ID. That is, it disassociates it from the API session and cleans up any data associated with it. Further Get Metrics requests against this context will result in status code 409 (Conflict).
The URI path must designate an existing valid metrics context for the current API session. If the URI path represents an already invalidated metrics context for the current API session, status code 409 (Conflict) is returned. If the URI path does not represent a recognized metrics context for the current API session, status code 404 (Not Found) is returned.
Authorization requirements
There are no authorization requirements for deleting a metrics context. The association with the API session is implicit, so there is no possibility of deleting a context that was created by a different API session. In other words, only the session which created a metrics context can delete it.
HTTP status and reason codes
On success, HTTP status code 204 (No Content) is returned and no response body is provided.
The following HTTP status codes are returned for the indicated errors, and the response body is a standard error response body providing the reason code indicated and associated error message.
HTTP error status code | Reason code | Description |
---|---|---|
400 (Bad Request) | Various | Errors were detected during common request validation. See Common request validation reason codes for a list of the possible reason codes. |
404 (Not Found) | 1 | The metrics context ID in the URI ({metrics-context-id}) does not designate a metrics context for the associated API session. |
409 (Conflict) | 1 | The metrics context ID in the URI ({metrics-context-id}) designates a metrics context for the associated API session that is no longer valid. |
Additional standard status and reason codes can be returned, as described in Invoking API operations.
