Ability to delete incidents

[elfjes]

The Geant correlator may create temporary incidents that are initially shown to the NOC. After some time the correlator may have discovered a (different) root cause of these incidents and they need to be replaced by a new incidents. The temporary incidents should be fully deleted from argus (ie. not closed or archived) as they have lost all relevance at that point.

I will start by adding the capability to unconditionally delete an incident. It should depend on some other flag on the incident but we need to settle on a name. We could also have it depend on the age of the incident (x seconds since start_time and it is still deletable) but then we should have a setting to set that magical time wondow, which also needs a name.

Potential names for new field on incident:

• new, default=True. Toggle on ack/close/other?
• stable, default=True. Toggle on ack/close/other?

There is also the client-library at https://github.com/Uninett/pyargus. @elfjes are you using this or using the API directly?

I can imagine that you want to limit the ability to delete issues for regular users through the ui (probably not even want to expose this functionality through the ui). But also for an admin user, using the api? I think it would be easier to just allow that and don't add additional complexity until it's really needed?

I'm not quite sure what the status of this library is, given that the last commit is over 2 years ago. If you say it's still supported we might want to use it, but if not it's not a big deal. For now we only have to query a few endpoints.
