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.

Have you tried referencing our macOS app uninstall worklet in the community?

@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
