Disabling server extensions

When you do not want the server extensions to run on the cluster to save server resources or when you no longer want to run any of the tests supported by the server extensions, you can disable them.

Before you begin

You must have ensured that the server extension 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 can disable server extensions depending on the operating system on which you have installed the server software:

Disabling server extensions on OpenShift

Disabling server extensions on Ubuntu

Procedure

Use an SSH session to log in to the Ubuntu server.
Run the following command to disable all the three 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
```
Note: You must substitute {my-ots} with the release name that you provided during the installation of the server software.

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:
```
kubectl get pods -n test-system
```
Note: The pod for each server extension that you disabled no longer displays.
