Is the software model field in the discovery model table deprecated?

[peterikeda1]

I came across this KB article: FAQ: Software Model field in the Software Discovery Model Table not populating - Support and Trouble...

where it states:

4. Do you find Software Model field updated in Software Discovery Models table.

Take a note that discovery models with modified Software Model fields were either manually changed or produced prior to the "SAM Foundation"

----

In all of my instances where SAM Pro is activated the software model field is still getting updated for new discovery models where it's able to find a match, so what's stated in the KB article doesn't line up with what I'm seeing. Can someone please clarify?

Thanks,

Peter

@peterikeda1,

I also asked myself this question and at the time the support team referred me to the KB article you mentioned, and that SN is working on cleaning up this field. Perhaps you could ask the support team again why a deprecated field is being updated and whether it has an influence on the reconcile.

Best, Dennis
