Describe the bug
There are over 12 agent records in our device inventory:

https://demo.serviceradar.cloud/devices?q=in:devices%20type:%22Server%22

There should only be 2, we have one agent installed on a static/fixed IP address (VM) 192.168.2.22, the other is running in a k8s pod and gets ephemeral IP addresses. The duplicates seem to be coming from the k8s (k8s-agent) agent.

DIRE (device identity and reconciliation engine) should be able to deal with this, as the agent should emit a strong identifier (mTLS backed identity/agent ID) and this should never happen.
