¶ 🧹 Inactive ONU Removal
The Inactive ONU Removal automation allows automatic cleanup of ONUs that remain offline for an extended period within OLTs.
It is an essential routine to keep the network organized, free slots, and prevent accumulation of obsolete ONUs.
In this automation, you define after how many offline days an ONU will be considered eligible for deletion.
¶ 🧭 How to access the automation
To create the automation:

¶ 🏷️ Automation Name
- Enter a custom name.
- If left blank, the system automatically creates a default name.
¶ 🧪 Dry Run Mode (test mode)

- Recurring executions
- CRON configuration, enabling advanced schedules
After configuring everything, click Register to activate the automation.
