Uninstall Elastic Agent

[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

To uninstall Elastic Agent from a host, run the uninstall command from the directory where it’s running. Refer to the Fleet and Elastic Agent documentation for more information.

If Agent tamper protection is enabled on the Agent policy for the host, you’ll need to include the uninstall token in the command, using the --uninstall-token flag. You can find the uninstall token on the Agent policy or at Fleet → Uninstall tokens.

For example:

sudo elastic-agent uninstall --uninstall-token 12345678901234567890123456789012

sudo elastic-agent uninstall --uninstall-token 12345678901234567890123456789012

C:\"Program Files"\Elastic\Agent\elastic-agent.exe uninstall --uninstall-token 12345678901234567890123456789012

Use these commands to uninstall Elastic Endpoint from a host ONLY if uninstalling an Elastic Agent is unsuccessful.

cd /tmp
cp /Library/Elastic/Endpoint/elastic-endpoint elastic-endpoint
sudo ./elastic-endpoint uninstall
rm elastic-endpoint

cd /tmp
cp /opt/Elastic/Endpoint/elastic-endpoint elastic-endpoint
sudo ./elastic-endpoint uninstall
rm elastic-endpoint

cd %TEMP%
copy "c:\Program Files\Elastic\Endpoint\elastic-endpoint.exe" elastic-endpoint.exe
.\elastic-endpoint.exe uninstall
del .\elastic-endpoint.exe
