Disable Services
=====================================


You can disable the following FindFace Multi services should you no longer need them:

* episodes
* video archive queue manager
* webhooks
* Active Directory
* VMS cleanup



To do so, open the ``/opt/findface-multi/config/findface-multi-legacy/findface-multi-legacy.py`` configuration file and modify the ``SERVICES`` section, setting ``False`` for the services that are no longer in use. Restart the ``findface-multi-findface-multi-legacy-1`` container.

.. code::

   sudo vi /opt/findface-multi/config/findface-multi-legacy/findface-multi-legacy.py

   # disable unused services to increase
   # overall system performance in some cases.
   SERVICES = {
       "ffsecurity": {
           "episodes": False,
           "webhooks": False,
           # use queue manager to prevent drops of video archive events
           "video_archive_events_manager": False,
           "active_directory": False,
           "vms_cleanup": False,
       }
   }

.. code::

   sudo docker container restart findface-multi-findface-multi-legacy-1

After that, relevant sections will disappear from the web interface.

.. note::
   A relevant section will remain if there are some entities on it (for example, webhooks on the :guilabel:`Webhooks` tab). However, the service will stop working and generating data.
