[RESOLVED] Agent behavior during install and remove actions

[frferrer]

Good morning,

I would like some clarification on the behavior of the WAPT agent regarding install and remove actions.

If I understood the training correctly, when an installation action is detected by an agent:

• It downloads the package and caches it

• Upon session closure, the package is unzipped and the installation process is initiated

• If the installation is successful, then the package file (.wapt) is removed from the computer

Is this how it works?

So what happens when the agent receives an uninstallation order?

• He downloads the .wapt package again

• unzip it

• Play the uninstallation sequence

• Delete the .wapt file from the computer

THANKS

Configuration:

• WAPT: 1.7

• Server: Debian 9

Hi Frédéric and all our friends in Bordeaux.

To keep it short and simple, the scripts are stored in the WAPT agent's local SQLite database.

This is how we can:

- uninstall the software even though the WAPT package has been removed from the cache
- trigger compliance audits at regular intervals (Enterprise version).

Therefore, the "forget the package" action will instruct the WAPT agent on the selected machine to delete the entry corresponding to the package in the SQLite database.

Good evening,

thank you for this clarification.

It's precise enough for me.
