Installing or uninstalling modules

Prev Next

You can install a module on your Endpoint Security (HX) Web UI from either the Trellix Market or you can use the Additional Modules tab to install a module from the module catalog hosted on Trellix's DTI content server. The modules you install are disabled by default. You must enable each module before you can use it. After you have installed and enabled a module, the module appears on the Modules menu.

You can uninstall modules from the Installed Modules page. If the installed module has an agent component, you must disable the module component and remove its category from the agent policy to which it was assigned before you disable and uninstall the module from the Installed Modules page.
