Delete a rule

Choose Delete from the same menu and review the confirmation dialog. The action completes only after the destructive dialog button is used. The table then updates or displays its empty state.

Post-change test

Reload the detail page to confirm persistence. Test connection, authentication, service functions, and relevant monitoring. If the outcome is wrong, restore the recorded configuration.

  • The row shows new values
  • A deleted rule stays absent after reload
  • The service responds from valid sources
  • Monitoring and logs show no regression

Frequently asked questions

Can a deleted rule be restored?

The table does not show a restore action. Keep the values so you can recreate the rule if needed.

Why does editing fail?

The rule is validated again. Check type, port or range, and required PPS for B and R.
