Uninstall Reputation

The basic Reputation shared service uninstallation is designed so that the data you have collected is restored if you later decide to reinstall Reputation. In some cases, you might want to start "clean" and not restore the data. To do this, you must manually remove some files.

Consult with Tanium Support before you uninstall or reinstall Reputation.

Uninstall Reputation so data is restored on reinstall

  1. Sign in to the Tanium Console as a user with the Administrator role.
  2. From the Main menu, go to Administration > Configuration > Solutions.
  3. In the Content section, select the Reputation row and click Uninstall.
  4. Review the summary and click Yes to proceed with the uninstallation.
  5. When prompted to confirm, enter your password.

If you later import the Reputation shared service, the previous data is restored.

Uninstall Reputation so you start fresh when you reinstall

  1. Uninstall Reputation so data is restored on reinstall.
  2. Manually delete the <Module Server>\services\reputation-files\ directory.

Deleting the reputation-files directory removes all existing Reputation data. All logs, output, the Reputation database, and any other Reputation data is deleted. If you later import the Reputation shared service, the previous data is not restored.
