Uninstall Linux server agent

Post by itutd »

I was wondering if there is a script available to uninstall the nagiosxi linux server agent. If not is there a process I could follow to undo the changes the ./fullinstall script makes when run. I would need this in the case where the installation of the server agent appeared to have introduced a problem on a production server and needed to be removed?

Thank You

there isn't currently an uninstall script for this as it may be different on every system, however all the changes are logged in the install.log

I am not extremely linux savvy. The only install.log I found was /root/install.log. Is this where the changes are recorded? Is this log specific to Nagios or anything that installs to the server? So I might need to make note of the log file before and after the client installation?

no that isn't the file.

When you run the installation following the instructions here
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

A file named install.log will be created in the /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent directory. This will not be created until fullinstall is run.
