Removing the device from Vanta

Uninstalling does not remove the agent registration within Vanta. As an admin, you can visit the Computers page to remove the Vanta agent, individually or in bulk.

Once an agent is disabled, Vanta will no longer pick up updates for that device through the agent. Monitors will no longer look at these agents.
