Windows discovery sys property: glide.discovery.hostname.case only seems to effect the case of the name field and not the host_name field - Known Error

Windows discovery sys property: glide.discovery.hostname.case only seems to effect the case of the name field and not the host_name field Description After a discovery of a windows server the host_name field is shown in upper case while the name field is set to lowercase. Both the field name and field host_name should be set to lowercase and one should have control over this.

There seems to be a system property made for this: glide.discovery.hostname.case

Testing has shown both with patterns and probes that the system property only effects the case of the name field and not the host_name field.

Why does a system property called glide.discovery.hostname.case effect the name as opposed to the host_name field and/or why not both?

Also found another system property: glide.discovery.hostname.lower_case=true

but this did not seem to have any effect on case.

Steps to Reproduce

Set Orlando or Paris instance windows discovery for either probes or patterns (or one after the other) and discover the windows MID server. Change the glide.discovery.hostname.case from Lower case to: Upper case restart the MID and run a quick discovery against the MID server You will see the name field and host_name field are both upper case in the resultant windows CI Then reverse the system property to: Lower case restart the mid and run another quick discovery against the MID server Only the name field changes to lower case. The host_name (hostname) field remains the same no matter what you do.

Workaround There is a workaround that can be used to the Windows - Classify sensor here:

/discovery_sensor.do?sys_id=b11453f50a0a0ba500a72547a687189e&sysparm_view=&sysparm_domain=null&sysparm_domain_scope=null&sysparm_record_row=1&sysparm_record_rows=210&sysparm_record_list=ORDERBYDESCsys_updated_on">http:// /discovery_sensor.do?sys_id=b11453f50a0a0ba500a72547a687189e&sysparm_view=&sysparm_domain=null&sysparm_domain_scope=null&sysparm_record_row=1&sysparm_record_rows=210&sysparm_record_list=ORDERBYDESCsys_updated_on

The following two lines:

var hn1 = new HostnameJS(); // Work-around for PRB1430230 this.ci_data['host_name'] = hn1.format(this.ci_data['host_name']); // Workaround for PRB1430230

Can be added at line: 191 see following image for details. This will follow the case of the name field so if you change it to upper case via system property: glide.discovery.hostname.case then the host_name field will be upper case.
