DPOD was designed to be non-intrusive. Therefore, there are only a few steps required to reverse its setup on the DataPower device.

This page describe how to manually remove DPOD's configuration from a monitored device. Alternatively, you can run a script to automatically remove the setup. See Backing up and Restoring DPODs IDG related configuration

Before you Start

You do not need to uninstall DPOD if you only need to disable it for investigation purposes.
You can stop DataPower from sending syslogs to DPDD by selecting "Monitored Devices" from the Manage menu, and changing the "Device Syslog Status" to disabled.

To uninstall DPOD, perform the following steps on your monitored DataPower device.

These steps can be done manually as describe below or a by using scripts as described in Backing up and Restoring DPODs IDG related configuration

Remove Syslog Targets

You can remove DPOD's log targets from the monitored device automatically or manually:

1. Automatically - from DPOD's Manage→Devices->Monitored Devices page, select the monitored device and click "Delete Device", check the box "Delete Syslog log targets from device" in the confirmation window.

2. Manually - On the Gateway's “Manage Log Targets” screen, select all log targets starting with “Montier*” and "DPOD-MSC*" and delete them.

Repeat for all domains:

Remove Log Categories

On the "Log Categories" screen, delete all the categories starting with "montier" or "msc-"

Remove Host Aliases

On the "Host Aliases" screen, delete all the aliases starting with "montier" or "MSC-"

(Optional) Change Web Services Management Capture Mode

Do not perform this step if you have WS-M Agent Subscribers other than DPOD, as they will stop working too.

On the “Web Services Management Agent” screen, change "Capture Mode" from “All” to “None” or “Faults only”

(Optional) Disable the Certificate Monitor

The certificate monitor writes a syslog record for each expired certificate.
Leaving it as is will not have much effect (except for writing a few syslog records from time to time). As its impact is low - this step may be skipped unless there is a specific reason to disable it.

On the “Crypto Certificate Monitor” screen, change the Administrative state to “disabled”

(Optional) XSLT

Leaving the policies as they are and skipping this step will have no effect on the service(s)

In every webservice proxy, go into the processing policy and remove the Montier policy from all the processing rules

Verify all the objects in this list are removed

Objects to remove

Decommission the DPOD machine

When all steps above are completed, the DPOD appliance may be decommissioned safely.
