Hi Splunkers,
I've installed both Add-on for VMware metrics collector and Add-on for Unix and Linux.
I noticed that  the same host collected by the two add-on is managed in different ways.
Is there a best pratice to follow in order to merge data or at least to tell ITSI we're talking about the same host?

I've already tried to merge entities but without finding an acceptable solution.

Can someone help me on this topic?
