Question from Playbook Optimization webinar: Delete context script

L5 Sessionator

When should you use the "Delete context" script? Is it a good practice to use it at the beginning of the playbooks?

In a live playbook, the use of DeleteContext at the beginning is not necessary since the Context starts of being empty (Unless auto-extraction was enabled on the incident type and enrichmment data was outputted). DeleteContext is typically used during development and troubleshooting to clean up context objects when the playbook is re-run multiple times in the same incident, or in a live playbook to delete context objects that do not add much value to the flow of the playbook, but are nonetheless still outputted by commands/scripts, as a context optimization strategy.

Dear,

Have any way to know the Context was overlaped?

Hello @haicd 

 

Could you elaborate on what you mean by context overlapping, please?

 

Thanks,

Rahul

 

Hi @RahulVijaydev 


Sorry for my question, it wasn't clearly.

I just didn't understand when you said: "the playbook is re-run multiple times in the same incident". 

I don't exactly know what happen with the context data if the playbook is re-run multiple times in the same incident, can you explain?

 

Warm Regards,

Hai
