Troubleshooting
Problem
Deleting data source configurations in Cloud Pak for Security (CP4S) still shows in the User Interface (UI) for a Data Explorer search or TII scan.
Symptom
The CP4S UI shows data sources that were previously deleted in the Connections page in both Data Explorer and Threat Intelligence Insights scans.
Cause
Deleted data source connections result in leftover configurations that result in the user interface showing them in data explorer and threat intelligence insights.
Resolving The Problem
- Log in to the CP4S environment by using the oc command where
openshift_tokenandopenshift_api_urlare replaced by the login command credentials:oc login --token=<openshift_token> --server=<openshift_api_url> - Use the
occommand to verify that thecouchdbservice is running.Port-forwardthedefault-couchdbclusterservice:NOTE: The port 9000 can be changed to an unused port on your local machine.oc get svc | grep couchdb c-default-couchdbcluster-m ClusterIP None <none> 9100/TCP 3d23h default-couchdbcluster ClusterIP 127.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 3d23h oc port-forward svc/default-couchdbcluster 9000:443 - Record the password and username used for the
default-couchdbclusterservice the decode it:NOTE: Password and user name displayed are examples. The output produced in production environments are different.oc get secret couch-secret-default -o json (............) { "apiVersion": "v1", "data": { "password": "AAAABBBCCC==", "username": "AABBCC=" } , (............) echo AAAABBBCCC== | base64 -D echo AABBCC= | base64 -D - Open a browser and type the following address
https://localhost:9000/_utils/into the address bar. It requests the username and password from step 3. - Scroll down the page and click
>>arrow to navigate to the second page or click 2

- Find the
uds-ds-connectionsanduds-ds-configurationstables. Click both to locate keys that are remaining in the tables. - Click the connections table.
- Select the account ID key we want to delete.
- Click delete.
- For UI to refresh, add new connector and only the expected
Data Sourceare there now.
