Description

Hi, what an amazing project.

I have a request if possible to add in the next update.

Sometimes computers need an operating system reinstallation, but when I reinstall the agent on the new system it creates a new device in the admin console, I need to remove the old one, otherwise the offline device keeps on the devices and accumulates devices that will no longer connect because the operating system has been reinstalled. If we have a big network, it's not easy to manage the "new" devices and remove the "old" devices.

Can the agent use the MBoard serial number, and/or disk serial number, to detect if the device already exists and reuse the same ID?

I hope my explanation was clear enough.

Best Regards

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing where the agent registers a device and how the admin console identifies it; clarify the identity and replacement rules for motherboard or disk serials, then verify that reinstalling reuses the existing device without duplicating records.
