Is the 'Host name' on a Virtual Machine captured from Discovery?

[mikegrynch]

It's my understanding that 'Host name' on a virtual server is not captured from Discovery, however, we have several virtual servers that currently has the 'Name' of the server in the 'Host name' field. This seems to be coming from Discovery. How is that getting populated, and if that is getting populated, how can we get it to display the actual host name?

Example:

Name                                     Host name

exampleserver1       exampleserver1           <--how it is currently

exampleserver1       abcd10.erieinsurance.com   <--how we would like it to display

Thanks,

Thats actually happening in the Windows Classify Sensor..

What you may choose to do is goto discovery definition > properties and select include domain name in host name and see how that works for you...

Thanks Doug,

I did take your advice, but what that did was add the domain name to the name of the server. I did open a ticket with ServiceNow to see if this is expected behavior or is there an issue. I will update this as I receive information.

Thanks Dour,
