Discovery ADM/Process Classifiers put the wrong CI in subsequent Probe ecc_queue outputs, leading to data from the Application updated in the Computer CI and not the application CI - Known Error

Discovery ADM/Process Classifiers put the wrong CI in subsequent Probe ecc_queue outputs, leading to data from the Application updated in the Computer CI and not the application CI Description After The ADM Probe runs, matching process classifiers will trigger probes specific to applications. The code involved in specifying the CI to put in the probe output is in script include ApplicationDependencyMapping , and is putting the parent computer CI in, instead of the application CI. This means the Computer rather than Application CI gets updated/overwritten. Application CI fields do not get updated.

This would potentially affect the following probes:

name ecc_queue_name description HBase - Configuration cat ${filename} Gather HBase configuration information HBase - Main Class ${jps} -lv | grep ^${processID} Used to get the main Class of the running HBase process, as ps cannot return the full HBase command line. HBase - Version sh ${file:version.sh} ${hbase_home} Gather HBase version information KVM - Node Info virsh capabilities Nginx - Get Configuration sh ${file:get-nginxcfg.sh} ${nginx_cfg} Gather Nginx configuration details Nginx - Version sh ${file:get-nginx-ver.sh} ${nginx_command} Gather Nginx version information Oracle - Listener Details sh ${file:oracle_listener.sh} ${oracle_home} ${listener} Get the details of a specific Oracle listener Puppet - Master Info sh ${file:pm_info.sh} Gather Puppet Master information Unix - MongoDB Configuration cat ${filename} Gather MongoDB configuration information Unix - MongoDB Version ${command} -version Gather Mongodb version information VMWare - vCenter VMWarevCenterProbe Probe to get information from vCenter about ESX hosts, resource pools, and virtual machines. Implementation details for this probe are located in a MID server script include called VMWarevCenterProbe. VMWare - vCenter Datacenters VMWarevCenterDatacentersProbe Probe to get information about a vCenter's datacenters. The sensor will fire a probe for each type of vCenter object in each datacenter:

VMs, explored by the "VMWare - vCenter VMs" probe,

clusters, explored by the "VMWare - vCenter Clusters" probe,

datastores, explored by the "VMWare - vCenter Datastores" probe, and

networks, explored by the "VMWare - vCenter Networks" probe.

This probe's implementation is located in a MID server script include named VMWarevCenterDatacentersProbe.

As of the Istanbul release this probe replaces the "VMWare - vCenter" probe for Discovery.

Using NGINX on a Linux server an an example In Vancouver, Discover a host so that an NGINX CI is created, that will have version populated. Upgrade to Washington DC Clear out the Version value from existing application CI Discover the Linux host Note that the e.g. Version is not re-populated in the NGINX CI Inspect the ecc_queue input, and you will see the version data is there, but the cmdb_ci parameter is not the Application CI. Instead it is the host CI:

${command} -version ... output>{"current":{"version":"6.0.16"}} >... ... parameter name="cmdb_ci" value="eeda56461b0f0950036c0e93604bcbdd"/>...

This has been seen in these situations: - Get MongoDB Version probe doesn't update Version - NGINX - Version probe updates the short_description of the server, with the NGINX short description

This problem applies from Washington DC, and works in Vancouver.
