Disabling server extensions and features

When you do not want the server extensions to run on the cluster to save server resources or when you no longer want to use the test authoring feature, you can disable them.

Before you begin

You must have ensured that the server extension or the test authoring feature that you want to disable is enabled and running.

Note: You can verify the status by running the kubectl get pods -n test-system command. The status of an enabled server extension is displayed as Running.

About this task

You must substitute {my-ots} with the release name that you provided during the installation of the server software in the following procedure.

Procedure

Log in to the Ubuntu server using an SSH session.

Run the following command to disable the test authoring feature:

helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \
--reuse-values \
--set global.hclOneTestAuthorEnabled=false

Run the following command to disable all the extensions:

helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \
--reuse-values \
--set global.hclOneTestPostmanEnabled=false \
--set global.hclOneTestJMeterEnabled=false \
--set global.hclOneTestJUnitEnabled=false

If you want to disable any specific extension, then you can set the respective helm parameter value to false. For example, to disable the JMeter extension alone, then you can run the following command:

helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \
--reuse-values \
--set global.hclOneTestJMeterEnabled=false

Run the following command to verify the status of the extensions or the test authoring feature:
```
kubectl get pods -n test-system
```
Note: The pod for each server extension that you disabled no longer displays.

Results

You have disabled the test authoring feature or required server extensions on HCL OneTest™ Server.
