Remove individual or multiple Telegraf agents from {{% product-name %}}.

• Delete a single agent
• Delete multiple agents
• Automatically delete agents

[!Note] Deleting an agent from {{% product-name %}} does not affect the running Telegraf instance; it only deletes the record of the agent from Telegraf Controller.

Delete a single agent

1. In Agents, find the agent you want to remove.
2. Click the More button ({{% icon "tc-more" %}}) and select {{% icon "trash" %}} Delete Agent.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Delete multiple agents

1. In Agents, select the checkboxes for the agents you want to remove.
2. Select {{% icon "trash" %}} Delete Agents.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Automatically delete agents

Use reporting rules to automatically delete agents that have not reported in a specified amount of time.

1. Create a reporting rule with auto-delete enabled.
2. Assign the newly created rule to agents.

If agents assigned to the reporting rule do not report in the defined auto-delete threshold, they are automatically deleted.
