5. Delete Tag in Dynatrace
Delete Tag#
Now imagine you want to delete the tag in Dynatrace.
Remember that Crossplane is managing config_as_code/main.tf so let's comment out that out and save it back to Git.
Delete vs. Comment Out
In the real-world, you would simply delete the file rather than comment it out. For demo purposes, we want you to still have the configuration for reference - hence we comment things out instead.
Crossplane will (after 30 seconds) rescan your Git repo and notice the change (tag exists on Dynatrace but according to the repository, it shouldn't). Crossplane will then delete the tag from Dynatrace.
# Surround existing content with /* ... */ to comment it out
sed -i '1i /*' /workspaces/$RepositoryName/config_as_code/main.tf
sed -i '$a */' /workspaces/$RepositoryName/config_as_code/main.tf
# Save changes back to Git
git add /workspaces/$RepositoryName/config_as_code/main.tf
git commit -m "comment out tag"
git push
Wait for 30 seconds
Remember to wait for 30 seconds as that's how often Crossplane is configured to sync.
After 30 seconds, refresh the Classic Settings app, Automatically applied tags settings page:
For example:
https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.classic.settings/ui/settings/builtin:tags.auto-tagging
The auto tag should no longer exist in your Dynatrace environment.
