Unable to DELETE using REST API - Community Edition

[WizzerWorks]

Why can't I remove a a device via REST API?

msm@ubuntu-22-04-lts-template:~/Projects/oktopus-main$ curl -v --location --request DELETE 'http://localhost:8000/api/device?id=oktopus-0-stomp' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6Ik1hcmsgTWlsbGFyZCIsImVtYWlsIjoibWFyay5zLm1pbGxhcmRAZ21haWwuY29tIiwiaXNzIjoiT2t0b3B1cyIsImV4cCI6MTczODg1NjAyOX0.OatJmxqcYym8HdeTuG9dk8H1fJHQK_K2WmPg_WU6R44'

I can list devices ok:

msm@ubuntu-22-04-lts-template:~/Projects/oktopus-main$ curl -v --location 'http://localhost:8000/api/device?page_number=0&page_size=20' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6Ik1hcmsgTWlsbGFyZCIsImVtYWlsIjoibWFyay5zLm1pbGxhcmRAZ21haWwuY29tIiwiaXNzIjoiT2t0b3B1cyIsImV4cCI6MTczODg1NjAyOX0.OatJmxqcYym8HdeTuG9dk8H1fJHQK_K2WmPg_WU6R44'

Hello,

Currently there's no way to delete devices through the API, because they would come back in their next connection to the ACS os USP MTPs.

[WizzerWorks]

So if a device goes offline, and will not be available again (i.e. service provider removes it from a customer's premises), how does the USP Controller db get notified and updated?

Unfortunately there's no way to notify the USP Controller and delete the device, but I see your use case is very common and it would be a great enhancement to develop this feature.

Please label this as an enhancement request. Thank you.

Thank you for implementing this feature. It will help me with my RDK-B USP demonstrations by cleaning up some stagnant devices no longer available.
