Discovery CI

mike2agk · ‎03-16-2018

Team,

when i run quick discovery against an IP e.g [1.1.1.1.1] it discovers a CI and updates the CI in the CI table. However, the IP that gets updated in the CI table[1.1.1.2.2] is not same as the IP[1.1.1.1.1] i ran a quick discovery with.

Appreciate any input

Thanks

Mike

glide.discovery.enforce_ip_sync

Enforce syncing of IP addresses Sets the first IP address. Each time a computer with multiple NICs is discovered, one of the IP addresses associated with the NICs is chosen as the IP Address field of the CI. A value of false collects all NIC IP addresses.

Type : true | false
Default value: true

There is actually a property that does this. As you can see it basically randomly changes one. I think if you set this to false it would set that attribute with a list of all the ips but I can't guarantee this behaviour as I haven't changed it before. You could try searching all script include scripts for that property and see if you can find the code that sets it.

Mike,

Can you provide a screenshot of what you are asking? I don't quite understand. Are you talking about the ip_address field on the CI? If so if there are multiple IPs it will change because it's being discovered on multiple IPs.

Rob,

so when i run a quick discovery with an IP 10.2.2.2.2 it gives the CI :A_switch but the IP on that CI table is 10.1.1.1.1. it should be 10.2.2.2.2

Yep this is what I was thinking you were talking about. If you go to the bottom of the CI you should see an IP address table. If there are more then 1 in there then it's happening because it's randomly picking one to be in the IP Address field. As far as I remember that field gets set randomly based upon all the IPs found on the infrastructure.

,

is there a way/method i can correct this?what are my options? Because as you said when i looked at the bottom of the CI i see the other IP as well

I appreciate your feedback

Thanks

Mike
