Deactivate a sidecar

If necessary, you can deactivate a sidecar by editing its settings directly in the configuration files.

Note: Never change, copy, or move the configuration files that are in the default directory.

To change settings for a particular configuration file, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new version of the file in a non-default directory.
  2. Add the settings that you want to change.
