Uninstalling Crowdstrike Falcon in Tanzu Platform - Cloud Foundry

Products

• VMware Tanzu Platform - Cloud Foundry

Issue/Introduction

Even after Uninstalling Crowdstrike Falcon tile, falcon-sensor jobs are still running on all the VMs deployed by the Bosh Director.

Cause

This is as expeced as documented here https://github.com/CrowdStrike/falcon-boshrelease/blob/main/docs/README.md

 

Resolution

Since the Bosh job operates as an Addon rather than a deployment, uninstalling the sensor, including the .deb package, when the tile is uninstalled, is currently unsupported.

We can delete the release and then redeploy the TAS VMs which would remove the corresponding jobs.
