When the agent is uninstalled, the associated agent host record and scan results are purged. The agent host record is deleted from the database only when the agent is offline for more than 15 days of purge, and the agent should have been marked as revoked by the Cloud Agent Server.
The following rules are followed when the agent host is physically offline when the purge action is triggered:
If the agent host is offline for more than 15 days and the agent is uninstalled manually or with the purge rules, the agent host record is removed from the database.
When the host is back online, the agent is reprovisioned as it is considered a new agent because the agent entry was removed from the database.
If the agent host is online within 15 days of purge, the agent gets uninstalled from the asset, and the agent host record is removed from the database.
