Deleting a custom resolver

Deleting a custom resolver in the UI

You can delete your custom resolver with the UI in two ways.

To delete a custom resolver from the custom resolver list view:

1. Click the overflow icon next to the custom resolver you want to delete.
2. Select Delete.
3. Click Delete in the confirmation dialog that appears.

To delete a custom resolver from the custom resolver details view:

1. Select the custom resolver you want to delete to open the details page.
2. Click Delete resolver.
3. Click Delete in the confirmation dialog that appears.

Deleting a custom resolver from the CLI

To delete a custom resolver using the CLI, run the following command:

ibmcloud dns custom-resolver-delete RESOLVER_ID [-i, --instance INSTANCE] [-f, --force]

Where:

• RESOLVER_ID is the ID of custom resolver.
• -i, --instance is the instance name or ID. If this is not set, the context instance specified by dns instance-target INSTANCE is used instead.
• --output specifies output format. Currently, JSON is the only supported format.
• -f, --force deletes the custom resolver without prompting for confirmation.

Deleting a custom resolver with the API

To delete a custom resolver using the API, follow these steps:

1. Set up your API environment with the correct variables.

2. Store the following values in variables to be used in the API command:

   • instance_id, which is the unique identifier of a service instance.
   • resolver_id, which is the unique identifier of a custom resolver.
   • X-Correlation-ID, which is a string that uniquely identifies a request.

3. When all variables are initiated, update your custom resolver.
