Windows Servers discovery not moving beyond classification and pattern is not getting triggered due to different input / output format

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Windows servers are not getting discovered. The logs do not report any classification success message, and the horizontal pattern is not getting triggered after classification stage.


Cause

The issue is with the WMI Classify probe output format beign in JSON, while the input format is coming in XML format.

Due to the difference between the output format of the WMI Classify probe and the WMI input, Discovery is not moving further.




Resolution

Change the WMI Classify probe parameter to XML:

  • Navigate to Probes >> WMI Classify probe 
  • Under Probe parameters >> change the value of "output_format" to xml.
