Delete Custom Fingerprints
ExtremeAnalytics uses fingerprints to identify to which application a network
traffic flow belongs. A fingerprint is a description of a pattern of network traffic
which can be used to identify an application. Extreme Management Center
provides thousands of system fingerprints with the ExtremeAnalytics feature. In
addition, you can modify these fingerprints and create new custom fingerprints.
Deleting a Custom Fingerprint
Delete a custom fingerprint from the Fingerprints tab. A custom fingerprint is
either a new user-defined fingerprint, a modification of a system fingerprint, or a
disabled fingerprint. (Custom fingerprints can be identified by a in the Custom
column.)
When you delete a custom fingerprint, it is removed entirely. If you delete a
custom fingerprint overriding a system fingerprint, the original system
fingerprint is reloaded. System fingerprints that have not been modified cannot
be deleted, however, they can be disabled.
Use these steps to delete a custom fingerprint:
1. Select the Analytics tab in Extreme Management Center and then select the
Fingerprints view
2. Right-click on the desired custom fingerprint in the Fingerprints table and select
Delete Custom Fingerprint. The Delete Fingerprint window opens.
3. You can delete only the selected fingerprint or select the option to delete all custom
fingerprints that match the application name of the selected fingerprint.
4. Click OK. If a custom fingerprint overrides a system fingerprint, then deleting the
custom fingerprint reloads the original system fingerprint.
5. Enforce to push the change to your engines.
