Hello all together,

I' ve got a problem with auditing our windows environment in a little company (70 devices) using openAudit 1.12.6.
Open Audit replace some of my devices -> they all get the same system_id.
I think the reason is that they all have the same "type" =computer and "serial"= To be filled by OEM.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

An ideas to fix this?

 

P.S. Sorry for my poor english

      Hi Tron,

      In 1.12.6 you cannot disable the match on serial number. You can edit the code though. For version 1.12.6, in the file open-audit/code_igniter/application/models/m_system.php comment out lines 116-125 and 225-236. This will prevent matching based on serial number and device type.

      I'll make a note to add a config option to disable serial + type matching in a future version.

      Mark.

      Hello Tron,

      Check out this Wiki Article about how OpenAudit decides system_ids.

      Information about how Open-AudIT processes and stores data

      I think in your case you might like to check out the configuration to enable matching of devices by Mac Address rather than serial number.

        Hi Nick, first thank you for your fast answer. I have already read this articel and try to set : "discovery_mac_match" to "y" in Admin->Config but it dosen't work for me. Do I have to disable some other options or reload the config?
