I quickly created the SmartConsole extension during the last two days of my vacation.
When I have a bit more time, I’ll build a nicer version and make it available in the tools section.

Since deleting unused rules always annoyed me, I created a SmarteConsole plugin.
It does the following:
-
Shows all rules in SmartConsole that have not been used (hit counter = 0).
-
Lets you select any of the unused rules you want to delete.
-
Generates the CLI commands for the Management Server to delete those rules.
I deliberately did not automate the deletion directly in SmartConsole, to avoid accidental rule removal if the tool is misused.
