Hi All,

Hopefully this is a quick question for someone.. but I can't find any API to unenroll an agent from Elastic? I've tried a few methods but can't seem to make progress.

Is anyone aware of anyway to script an agent removal?

Thanks  
J

Hi,

probably you have to use this:

```auto
POST /agents/{agentId}/unenroll

```
