Can you install Change Auditor agents on non-persistent VDI machines

What is the impact and behavior of the Change Auditor agent if it is installed on non-persistent VDI?

N/A

Even though it is possible to install the agents on these types of systems, we generally don't recommend nor support using the agent on non-persistent VDI machines as the component was not designed for this type of environment due to the way it handles its identity, as well as how all of the agent entries must stay in the database and can't be cleaned up.

The agent generates a security key pair when it is installed, and that key pair is stored in the database and tied to the agent identity if you use that as the base image, the agent won't work with any of the clones the keys won't match. The data does get audited by the agent, however, it will not be sent to the coordinator due to this.

This also causes significant bloat and slowdown in the database itself as well as additional issues for the deployment tabs in the client.
