Uninstall Cloud Agent

Uninstalling Cloud Agent from User Interface and API

When you uninstall a cloud agent using the Cloud Agent module user interface or Cloud Agent API, the agent and license is removed from the Qualys subscription. We’ll also purge the associated agent host record and scan results for any licensed modules, i.e. Vulnerability Management, Policy Compliance.

Uninstalling Cloud Agent from Host

When you uninstall a cloud agent from the host itself (using the uninstall utility), the agent record, its license usage, and scan results are still present in the Qualys subscription. In order to remove the agent’s host record, license, and scan results use the Cloud Agent module user interface or Cloud Agent API to uninstall the agent.

Sample uninstall command
installp -u qualys-cloud-agent.rte

Uninstall command for agent version 1.6:
sudo rpm -e qualys-cloud-agent
