Citrix Netscaler Load balancer showing incorrect CI name with same serial number

[Prahlad Kumar]

Hi All,

Please anyone help me on this. screenshot attached.

I am getting a bug while discovery of Citrix Netscaler Load balancer, Its runnning on Virtual Server as a load balancer.

I am trying to discover 3 IP addresses for load balancers which are configured, and the devices which are discovered is showing incorrect CI name with same serial number, but I have checked locally it all have different Host ID.

In CMDB actually only one CI has been created but in discovery status it is showing 3 CIs based on IP ranges, and whenever I am running discovery these all 3 IPs updating the same CI which is created in CMDB.

Goal: I want it to create separate CI in CMDB based on configured 3 IPs in IP ranges after discovery based on Host ID, because it is updating same CI with same Serial Number.

Thanks,

Hi @Prahlad Kumar: this issue is because of sysname that discovery is bringing, you can connect with your Network team to change the name as mentioned in below KB :

Hi Prahlad, how were you able to scan the virtual Citrix NetScaler Load balancers. In the documentation it's mentioned virtual load balancers cannot be scanned using ServiceNow Discovery. Thanks !
