What is a requirement when saving a golden image that includes the EPM Agent?

When saving a golden image that includes the EPM Agent, it is essential to remove the contents of the Trace Folder. The Trace Folder contains logs and traces that are generated during the operation of the EPM Agent, which can vary between installations and sessions. If these contents are preserved in a golden image, they may carry over unnecessary data or configurations that could interfere with the proper functioning of the agent on new systems.

By clearing the Trace Folder before creating the image, you ensure that any residual data specific to the environment where the golden image was created does not propagate to new installations. This practice allows for a cleaner, more consistent deployment of the EPM Agent across multiple endpoints, thus reducing the likelihood of potential conflicts or issues arising from prior activity logs.

Other options, while potentially relevant in different contexts, do not directly address maintaining the integrity of the golden image in relation to the EPM Agent.
