Safe to Uninstall Hipcheck Plugins?

[Jonny Polivka]

Hello:

Recently upgraded our Confluence instances to 8.5.3 LTS and noticed a few Hipchat errors in the logs . Investing this discovered Hipchat was discontinued in 2019 so the question is, can all the Hipchat apps be uninstalled? The four apps are...

• Atlassian Hipchat Integration Plugin

• Atlassian Hipchat Integration Plugin Core

• Confluence Hipchat Integration Plugin

• Confluence HipChat Plugin

Thanks,

Jonny

Hi @Jonny Polivka Yes, you can follow this KB article: Disabling the HipChat Integration with the Atlassian Products

Thanks @Dave Mathijs . I've read that link and this one as well only and they describe disabling. 

Haven't found anything that spells out uninstalling but I plan to do it after a period running with them disabled and don't see any issues.

Hi @Jonny Polivka 

Generally for first party tooling, which hipchat is, you only want to disable. Only third party apps should be removed.

Best,

Makes sense. Thanks @Clark Everson .
