Hi,

Is there any option available we can remove expired & stopped actions from a specific operator automatically.

We have automation for pushing multiple action based on certain criteria, which last for 2 hr & than expired, and in couple of hrs they are in thousands, so we are manually deleting them time to time.

Hence looking for any automated process for it.

Any suggestion on this pls

There is no “Built in” ability to do this.

You would need to use the REST API to query the list of Stopped/Expired actions issued by your user in question. I’ve not use the REST API enough to know if you can Delete an Action using it.

As suggested, this can be done via the REST API:

https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/api/action.html

(see specifically the DELETE method against /api/action/{action id}

You would need to query the action IDs to delete, then create a call to delete each as necessary.
