Restore Distributions overview

The Restore Distributions API lets you restore a previously deleted agent installation package (distribution) in Cortex Cloud.

When a distribution is deleted — either via the Delete agent installation packages API or from the Agent Installations screen in Cortex Cloud — agents that reference that package can no longer register. Restoring the distribution re-enables agent registration.

If the distribution is already in an active state, the API returns a message indicating it is already restored rather than returning an error.

Using this API, you can:

• Restore a deleted agent installation package by its distribution ID.
