Bug Summary

Since I upgraded our ancient AWX (pre k8s version) and ran all migrations I can see "hybrid" instance in Instances view called just "awx" that lists all the jobs that were executed in old times.

This instance is marked as unavailable and can't be deleted from the view. It's also cluttering the topology map with some weird arrows

How can we get rid of it?

AWX version

23.0.0

can you try shelling into the task container and running awx-manage deprovision_instance, and target that old hybrid node?

to shell into task container, kubectl exec -it deploy/awx-task -c awx-task -- bash

did that remove it?

[benapetr]

yes that works! thanks

this can probably be closed, although until this can be done from UI there might be more people hitting this issue

bump, this should be done from GUI?
