Reinstalling the agent

When reinstalling the agent, various elements are affected, like:

  • Already-collected metrics
  • Identification tokens that enable a reinstalled agent to report on the previously-discovered objects on the server

The following locations contain agent-related data which remains when the agent is uninstalled:

  • The data folder containing the keystore
  • The epops-token platform token file which is created before agent registration

Data continuity will not be affected when the data folder is deleted. This is not the case with the epops-token file. If you delete the token file, the agent will not be synchronized with the previously discovered objects upon a new installation.
