How can I stop discovery from overwriting the short_description field on Linux Servers?

[dthenderson]

I have a customer request to stop from overwriting the short description values that they have in their linux  servers.   I have been digging around and am constantly running into dead ends.   I believe it's the Linux - Identity probe.

Some documentation says it comes from uname ssh command.   KVM showed a different ssh command.   Either way, when I look at the xml in the ecc queue for the multiprobe, it's coming in via cidata parameter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Terry

Have you tried to comment out this line?

What about this action in Windows Servers?  I seem to have the same issue of short description being overwritten and I can see it sets that field to null in the windows classify .  I don't find any Windows classifiers with that line of code to comment out, so where is it hidden?  (I did apply the comments to all my Linux / Unix/AIX classifiers)

Thanks Jake and Doug!   Yes, this works!   I always forget to start at the classifiers and jump right to probe/sensors.
