Hello Automoxville,


I was wondering if any of you wonderful people have tried to uninstall the AlienVault agent with Automox?


We just switched to a different SIEM vendor and AlienVault’s documentation for uninstalling the agent via script is not very helpful.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    @dmunson, I haven’t tried it, but along with @Tony’s help, we may be able to provide some guidance. What OS are you working to uninstall AlienVault Agent from?

    Linux (Ubuntu 18.04).


    Alienvault’s documentation says to run the alienvault-agent.sh file located in /usr/bin for Linux. So my worklet I wrote is this:


    cd /usr/bin/

    alienvault-agent.sh uninstall


    But that doesn’t seem to be doing it…

    You should just put the full path to the uninstall script, rather than changing directories in the script. So:

    /usr/bin/alienvault-agent.sh uninstall
