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, the agent is displayed again the next time it contacts the system. If you delete a Synthetic agent, the agent is displayed again only after the TEA Agent service is restarted. 

  1. From the navigation menu, 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 Operations Management 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.
