Security Requirements and Controls

The deleteAction() GraphQL mutation may be used to delete an action in LogScale.

This mutation field is deprecated. It will be removed at the earliest in version 1.267. Use instead deleteActionV2().

To create, test, or update actions, there are several mutations. Scan the list in the left margin for the type of action you want to use.
