Discovery adding 3 trailing spaces to the end of a few Load balancer CI and creates duplicates

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

After updating to Pattern discovery, a few Load Balancers are getting discovered with an extra 3 trailing spaces in serial numbers. 

Release

NewYork.

Cause

The spaces are added in the pattern "F5 Load Balancer" right after step 3 i.e Get Serial Number.

Resolution


Please modify the Step 8(attached the screenshot of the same) to parse it to remove the extra spaces and saved/published pattern. 
Changed Step 8 (target field name serial number "value" from $Serial Number to
"EVAL(javascript:var rtn; var sn=${serial _number}.trim(); rtn = sn;)"
See the attached screenshot for reference.
