This page takes one machine out of Quint for good. Removing the endpoint is done with your Quint contact; the dashboard steps and the order are yours.
1

Remove the endpoint first

Ask your Quint contact to remove the endpoint from the machine. On a Mac, do it while both Quint profiles are still assigned: the two system extensions can only be released while the approvals profile is in place. Removal also takes Quint’s settings out of the coding agents on the machine.
2

Unassign the profiles last

Only after the endpoint is gone, unassign the “Quint approvals” and “Quint enrollment” profiles in your MDM. Unassigning first leaves the extensions in place with nothing to release them.
3

Leave the package alone

Do not stop or revoke the install package the machine joined with: other machines use it. Revoking its token under Settings › API tokens disconnects every machine it enrolled. See Install tokens.

How the dashboard shows it

The machine stops reporting and moves under the Silent filter in Data Sources. Its page keeps the last readings and says so: “Lane states are last-known readings — this host has not reported for over 24h.”

What remains

The machine stays in inventory: Settings › Data & retention says “Inventory (machines, agents, MCP servers, connectors) is kept while the workspace exists.” Its findings, events and sessions age out on the retention table there: findings after 14 days, events after 14 to 45 days, sessions after 365 days. See Workspace and data.

Pausing a machine

There is no customer-side pause. If a machine must stop recording for a time, remove it as above and enrol it again afterwards, or ask your Quint contact.
