If for some reason you must delete the NSX Network Detection and Response feature, use the steps described in this section.

Note: When you delete the NSX Network Detection and Response feature, the system deletes all the data analytics that have been gathered once the retention period times out, if the NSX Malware Prevention feature is currently not activated. The action is permanent and results in loss of previously collected data.

If the NSX Malware Prevention feature is still activated, the data analytics that have been gathered remains intact when the NSX Network Detection and Response feature is deleted until both features are deleted.

Prerequisites

  • NSX Application Platform must be in a good state and there are no active alarms.
  • You must be logged in using an Enterprise Admin account.

Procedure

  1. From your browser, log in with the required privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
  2. In the NSX Manager UI, select System > NSX Application Platform in the Configuration section.
  3. Navigate to the Features section and in the NSX Network Detection and Response feature card, click Actions and select Delete.
  4. Click Delete in the Delete NSX Network Detection and Response dialog box.

Results

After a successful deletion, the NSX Network Detection and Response feature card returns to a ready-to-activate state.

Refresh the NSX Manager UI. The Threat Detection & Response tab disappears from the UI.
