Delayed remediation for Dissolvable agent

Hi Fortinet community,

 

I was reading the Delayed remediation | FortiNAC-F 7.6.0 | Fortinet Document Library
But in my testing, the dissolvable agent keeps dissolved after scanning even though the host status is Pending At Risk. Am I doing correctly? 
I am expecting the agent will stay in the host until user has resolved the issues.

Are you referring to the DA getting closed (not running) or the executable file gets deleted from the downloaded folder? If the host status is at risk, the browser will be redirected to the remediation page and the DA will be downloaded again if required.

I am referring to the executable file deleted itself after the first scanning. And the host is then put into Pending At Risk. Based on the guide, the agent exec will remain in the host until the issue is resolved.

The use of delayed remediation and the host status Pending At Risk may change the normal behavior. Have you tried a scan that does not delay remediation?


Have you tried using different Dissolvable Agent versions, do you get the same results?
