Discovery: SSH command dmidecode fails on IBM Power 8 architecture (ppc64le) systemDescriptionOur current documentation indicate that on Linux OS such as SuSE, we use SSH command 'dmidecode' to fetch information on model_id, manufacturer, serial_number etc. (using probe 'Linux - Hardware Information'). https://docs.servicenow.com/csh?topicname=r_DataCollDiscoLinuxComputers.html&version=latestIBM power 8 architecture (ppc64) lacks DMI tables (instead uses Device Tree) so the command 'dmidecode' does not return results. We need to use an alternative command to dmidecode to fetch hardware information on ppc64 architecture systems.Steps to Reproduce Run Discovery on a ppc64le machine with Linux Operating system installed.Look at the input payload of multiprobe Linux - Identity.Notice that the command dmidecode has failed to retrieve hardware information.Field like model_id is not populated.WorkaroundThis issue is under review.

If you are able to upgrade, review the Fixed In or Intended Fix Version fields to determine whether any versions have a planned or permanent fix. As a workaround, you could also look at creating a custom probe/sensor that runs commands supported by ppc64le system such as the below to retrieve and populate model_id and manufacturer # cat /proc/device-tree/model-name IBM Power System S822L # cat /proc/device-tree/vendor IBM Related Problem: PRB1322596
