We are using the OOTB probes, and our classifier doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between Linux servers and Linux workstations. From the logs it looks like it's gathering the OS information from uname-a, but the output doesn't give any of the unique os version info. The documentation seems to say this information can come from either uname -a or cat /etc/*release, the second being the more promising area. Do I need to customize the classifier to get it to look at cat/etc/*release?

Data collected
The
Linux classifier triggers probes that perform the discovery. Several probes are launched during discovery. See the classifier for a list of the trigger probes.
