What provides data to inputlookup:system_version_tracker

mmqt
Path Finder

I'm trying to figure out what provides data to the inputlookup:system_version_tracker for ES. Currently its only populating linux machine information, but I am running the ta_windows add-on which I assumed would put data in here but its not populating with windows info.

Just wondering which add-on would generate data that would get piped into this lookup

Hi

It appears that for the windows addon there are some missing tags to populate information to this lookup.

On a customers site i enabled the following input:

[WinHostMon://OperatingSystem]
disabled = 0

and added the following configuration to Splunk_TA_windows/local/tags.conf

[eventtype=hostmon_inventory]
system = enabled
version = enabled

I then re-ran the lookup generator(or just wait for a while) and the dashboard loaded fine with windows and linux devices populated.

Thanks
Darren
