I have uninstalled the agent and then installed it again, and now I have duplicates in my dashboard.

When an agent is uninstalled, the unique token is deleted from the Windows Registry and cannot be recovered.

If the agent is installed again on that host, it generates a new unique token and a new identity.

This shows up on the Hosts page as multiple instances of the same host.

All results are counted for all the duplicate hosts while they are present on the Hosts page.
