Server Uptime and start_date

[smfoister]

I have a requirement to display server up time on server forms. I noticed there is a start_date field on linux servers that is getting populated by OOB discovery methods but the start_date field on a Windows machine is left blank.

Are there plans to populate this in the future, or has anyone satisfied this requirement with some other method?

I'm on Madrid Patch 1

Gotcha!  If you have access to the K19 labs, I did this very thing in patterns.  But be sure to have started with patterns in your discovery, if you have been running with probes and sensors you will want to wait to use patterns till the NY release.

I'm having some trouble with your pattern extension but it is the correct way to handle this. I'm troubleshooting why it works in dev but not in test or prod.
