    • If the server has a display name, the display name is displayed.
    • If a display name is not available, the server host name is displayed.
    • If neither a display name nor a host name is available, the server IP address is displayed.

Version

Version number of the agent

Platform

Agent environment: Java, .NET, or Synthetic

Agent Policy

(Agents for Java or .NET, only) Name of the general policy file applied to the agent

The agent takes the default agent policy at agent installation. For details about applying a different policy, see Managing App Visibility policy files.

Confidentiality Policy

(Agents for Java or .NET, only) Name of the confidentiality policy file applied to the agent

If the agent version does not support a confidentiality policy, N/A is displayed.

To delete an App Visibility agent

You can delete agents that are no longer in use. If you delete an active agent for Java or .NET, or an active TEA Agent, the agent is displayed again the next time it contacts the system. 

  1. From the navigation menu in the TrueSight console, select Administration > Agents.

  2. Delete agents:
    • To delete a single agent, regardless of how many are selected, select Delete from the action menu for the single row.
    • To delete more than one agent, select the agents (or click the column header to select all displayed agents), and select Delete Selected from the action menu at the column header.

  3. Click Yes to confirm deletion.

After you disconnect and delete an agent with associated data, the agent is removed from the portal and the data is no longer displayed in the TrueSight console. However, if you reconnect the same agent to the same portal, and the portal is still connected to the collector with the saved agent's records, the associated data is displayed in the console again.
