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.

i cant delete records in prod instance to achieve this, however, i could only update using a script. So for example i want to update the IP address for A_switch from 10.1.1.1.1 to 2.2.2.2 and also Bswitch from 2.2.2.2.2 to 5.5.5.5. im actually not developer. Can you help

refer to this discovery property (Discovery definition --> Properties). This is set to Yes OOB. Disable this and try your discovery again
