Urgent: Problem with CMDB Health Inclusion Rules

[Nitin15]

I have configured a Health Inclusion on "Linux Server" class as I only want to have calculations run for this class. 

Still when I go to "cmdb_health_result" table I can see result for all sort of classes. Computer, printer, ip, switch etc. 

And I am sure I don't have inclusion rules configured for those.

HI,

What happens is when you run the scheduled jobs for this metrics it will get evaluated for whole CMDB.

To only see results specific to Linux server on Dashboard you will have to select Linux Class. Regardless of Metric configured for other class you will get results for whole CI Classes. You will have to drill down to Linux class to see results specific to it.

Thanks,

Thank you, one last question around the same situation. 

If I want to collect data for all the servers, can I put a condition in inclusion rule as "Class=Server" or I will have to do it for each server child class like "Class=Linux Server" OR "Class=Windows Server" and so on.

HI,

Do it on Main i.e. Parent Class. It will get applied to child classes. If you have fields specific to that child class and you want them to be audit or used in any metric then you have to create rules on that classes.
