As DPOD was designed to be non-intrusive, there are only a few steps required to reverse its setup from 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 want to disable it for investigation purposes.
Instead, from the "Manage" menu - choose "Monitored Devices" and change the "Device Syslog Status" to disabled to stop the DataPower from sending syslogs to DPOD
To uninstall DPOD, perform these 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
Go to the “Manage Log Targets” screen, select all log targets starting with “Montier*” and "DPOD-MSC*" and delete them.
Repeat for all domains:
Remove Log Categories
Go to the "Log Categories" screen and delete all the categories starting with "montier" or "msc-"
Remove Host Aliases
Go to the "Host Aliases" screen and delete all the aliases starting with "montier" or "MSC-"
(Optional) Change Web Services Management Capture Mode
Go to the “Web Services Management Agent” screen and change "Capture Mode" from “All” to “None” or “Faults only”
(Optional) Disable the Certificate Monitor
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 a specific reason to disable it exists.
Go to “Crypto Certificate Monitor” and change the Administrative state to “disabled”
(Optional) XSLT
In every webservice proxy, go into the processing policy and remove the Montier policy from all the processing rules
Review all the objects in this list are removed
Decommission the DPOD machine
When all steps above are completed, the DPOD appliance may be decommissioned safely.
