Uninstall the module

To stop using CEM, you can uninstall the cem_linux module. Alternatively, to stop using CEM on one or more nodes, declassify the nodes to remove their association with the cem_linux class.

CAUTION: If you uninstall CEM or declassify one or more nodes, Puppet Enterprise (PE) or open source Puppet no longer runs on the affected nodes to enforce secure configuration compliance. When you uninstall CEM or declassify a node, the node does not revert to its pre-CEM state.

Take one of the following actions:

To uninstall the CEM module, follow the instructions in Uninstalling modules.
On PE, to declassify nodes, you can remove the nodes from the node group that is associated with the cem_linux class. For instructions, see Remove nodes from a node group. Alternatively, to stop using CEM on an entire node group, you can remove the cem_linux class from the node group. For instructions, see Remove classes from a node group.
On open source Puppet, ensure that cem_linux is no longer included in the manifest that applies the cem_linux class.
