Linux\Unix OS - Pre Sensor throwing error when processing payload which contains start_date : "NaN" which results of failed discovery Description Linux\Unix OS - Pre Sensor throws an error when processing payload which contains start_date : "NaN"

In scheduled discovery, processing of script OOTB PreLinux\Unix OS - Pre Sensor throws an error when processing payload which contains "start_date" : "NaN" on some devices. When running Quick discovery on the same device it is getting discovered because the attribute is set properly in number format - e.g. "start_date": "1596266642000"

Steps to Reproduce

The error is seen when the Linux server pattern runs.

Reproducible in some Discovery schedules where horizontal discovery probe payload returns start_date : "NaN"
