Remove Deep Visibility or Enforcement Linux Agent

RPM based installation:

  1. Run command: rpm -e tet-sensor

Agent uninstallation event is communicated to the cluster and the agent will be marked as uninstalled on Software Agent page.

Manually delete the agent from UI on the Software Agent page or the user can enable automated cleanup or removal of the agent by turning on the cleanup period from agent config profiles.


 

By default, the cleanup period is turned off.

Ubuntu .deb based installation:

Fresh installation of Ubuntu agents now uses the native .deb format.

  1. Run command: dpkg –purge tet-sensor

Agent uninstallation event is communicated to the cluster and the agent will be marked as uninstalled on Software Agent page.

Manually delete the agent from UI on Software Agent page or the user can enable automated cleanup or removal of the agent by turning on the cleanup period from agent config profiles.


 
  • By default, the cleanup period is turned off.

  • During the agent operations, it is possible that some kernel modules will be loaded automatically by the kernel. For example, if enforcement is enabled in Linux, Netfilter modules might be loaded. Agents do not have a list of modules loaded by kernel. Therefore, during agent uninstallation, it cannot possibly unloaded the kernel modules.

  • If enforcement agent applied a policy to the system firewall, uninstalling agent clears the applied policy and opens the system firewall.
