hi,

how does the "node type" get determined ?
do i need to install an agent for this ?

Lindeamon

Hi,

currently it's half-done feature. So far it determines if SNMP device is a physical device (only for some devices). Agent already have parameter System.IsVirtual - but currently it is ignored by server. We will implement it in the future, and yes, it will require agent to work on generic OS.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Please consider implement VM detection on Windows.
It can be done via WMI, see this post https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2015/03/30/use-powershell-to-detect-if-hypervisor-is-present/
WMI Query Win32_ComputerSystem , parameter "HypervisorPresent"

It will work in most cases. Please implement, it will help a lot.
