How Host name for Linux is identified in Discovery

Hi,

I like to know how discovery identifies the hostname for Linux servers.

when I checked the probe I don't find anything like nslookup

please share the probe name and the exact command used to identify the hostname.

 

Regards,

Imran Basha M.

Hello,

I know this is a little old topic, but I have a question; I have been reviewing the pattern "Linux server" and haven't found where the hostname is being updated. I see that "uname" is being used to fill fields like "name", "OS name" and "OS version". But I cannot see any reference to the "hostname" field. Do you know exactly where does the hostname is being updated?

Thanks!
