You can decommission a resource without removing the resource. When the decommission option is enabled, resources are put in the decommissioned state.

Any partner- or client-level user can enable the Resource Decommission option, with the following conditions:

  • Only monitored resources can be decommissioned.
  • A client-level user can enable resource decommissioning only after the option is enabled at the partner-level.
  • Resources cannot be deleted after the Resource Decommission option is enabled.
  • After the Resource Decommission option is enabled, all uninstalled public cloud or compute integrations are moved to the decommissioned state.
