Dear All,

 

In our new Orlando pattern based discovery , the windows 2019 servers specially and some other windows/linux servers

these fields are getting empty by discovery itself:-

  1. CPU core count
  2. CPU count
  3. Disk space (GB)
  4. OS Domain
  5. description

I have checked the input xml payload.there its also making empty on return.

what can go wrong? previously it was not,happened just after pattern based discovery migration in our new orlando.

For the Windows 2019 servers, is the server being discovered with the credential applied on the ServiceNow MID Server service? If so, there is an issue in Pattern-based discovery for Windows patterns where not all of the fields are populated.

A work around to resolve the fields not populating is to apply the same Windows Credential to both ServiceNow MID Server service and the ServiceNow WMI Collector service.

Hi Anshu,

From orlando there is a change in the mid server side on how the commands are executed remotely.

The WMI collector is deprecated and instead powershell is enabled to run these remote commands.

See below doc link from SNOW. Refer section "WMI Collector deprecation", there is a KB article in this as well to guide on the migration from WMI to Powershell.

From what I see, it should be a seamless migration but I still see some issues here as I also encountered similar issue while dealing with a customer who upgraded to orlando, and they could fix their environment issue using this SNOW doc.

Hope this helps you out as well.
