CI description updated by Discovery

Where is the CI description set when scanning a Win server or SNMP device?
OOB the CI description is overwritten.

For windows its in the OS Information Sensor. For Network devices its done in the SNMP Classify sensor. A trick I use is to search the sensor table.script for the attribute. So, in this case, the sensor.script contains short_description. Also, check the discovery script includes. This way I can quickly find whos doing what to the attributes. In patterns not so friendly, have to look through each individually.

Hi Folks,
We are having the same issue and I have checked Windows- OS Servers Pattern is updating the shoet description to OSinfo.description , I have tried restricting the update via IRE rule by setting this to manual entry but still it is updating , can anyone please guide me further on this.
Thanks in Advance!
