Hi,

I would like to clear programmatically all the node status, before the node are reached by msg payload.  
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

No - the status of each node is controlled by the node - so unless it changes status it won't know about it. usually a full deploy/restart should set them to an initial state but again it is up to individual nodes to do the right thing.

What are you trying to do ? what is the use case ?
