After you uninstall OneAgent

Following uninstallation, log files, the user running OneAgent, and part of the configuration are preserved in the OneAgent installation directory. These can be removed manually. Note however that if the configuration files have been removed, and OneAgent is re-installed, the host will show up as a new host with a different internal identifier.

For a complete OneAgent uninstallation, remove the following:

  • Log files located at %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\oneagent\log.
  • Configuration files located at %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\oneagent\agent\config.
