Softlayer API - remove monitor

0
votes

We use the SoftLayer API to setup and tear down development VM's and the automatic setup of the ping monitor for these VM's is sending us unneeded messages for their status. Is there way to remove the monitor for a given VM via the SoftLayer API, specifically, through python? I've looked through the docs and I'm not seeing a way to add/remove monitors.

See this code

"""
Delete network monitoring

The script makes a single call to SoftLayer_Network_Monitor_Version1_Query_Host::deleteObject
method to delete the network monitoring for more information see below
