Hi
I have a Windows 2003 server, virtual, not listed under "Servers" view.
We have many Windows 2003 servers, most of all as guests under Vmware ESX.
One of this is listed only in the "All devices" view.
To the developers : please, can you give me any insight : how does Observium decide the kind of device ?
What I have to check to pinpoint the problem ?
Best regards, Sala

What revision of observium are you running? A bug was recently fixed that would prevent the discovery module from marking servers as type server when doing a full discovery run.
You should be able to force it to pick up by running just the os module:
discovery.php -m os -h <hostname>

I have yesterday a time slot for Observium, so I solved this SQL way :
Check the device :
select hostname, * from devices where hostname = "zzzzz";
mmh, type is null ... other devices ?
select hostname, sysname, type from devices where type is NULL;
two windows servers. fix it :
update devices set type = "server" where type is NULL;
thanks for your answer, Sala
