    You can stop Edge, remove the dat file, then restart. It will create a fresh guid

    $ cat /opt/cribl/local/cribl/auth/676f6174733432.dat
    {"it":1650381948,"phf":0,"guid":"55daf1ef-31aa-42b8-9fab-1fe62e7f2966","lics":["license-free-3.5.3-RC3-08986e05"]}
    

    (change the path for your env as required)

    unless you change the token, which would impact all nodes, you can't.You can use the mapping tab to put it in an "inactive" group

    stopping Edge on the node will also make it drop from the Leader listing

  • What if the instance is terminated?

    the node will only show on the leader while it's actively connected to the leader

    if the instance is dead, or the process stops running, it will disappear

  • interesting, seems like there’s some sort of bug as there are a number of terminated instances which still appear in the UI

    any chance you cloned installs? if a node has a dupe GUID with another, you're going to see that GUID still alive

  • yeah that looks to be the issue.. How do we resolve this?
