Accidentally Deleted platforms!! How do I "auto-rediscover" them?

[jrv116]

I accidentally deleted 2 of my platforms that had been auto-discovered..

I would like to either purge the Hyperic-HQ databases on the server so they'll pick back up again,

or

somehow make the server "forget" about the machines so it rediscovers them.

If anyone could submit directions to fix my issue I would appreciate it...

Sure. Shut down the agents on the (2) systems in question. Now, remove the "data" directory from the agent directories. Fire the agents back up and reconfigure.

There may be other ways to do this, but I know this works.

Thanks! Could you add a snippet listing the steps to the doc forge?
