Greetings -

I do have the TA for nix.

I spend a couple of hours scouring all my resources and looking at the TA_nix  where to insert or turn an entry for the OS type.

On the linux side need to know if what vendor :  centos/RHEL ,  version 6,7,8 .

Any input would be appreciated.

sourcetype=Unix:Version has a bunch of the fields (os_*) you are looking for. I am not sure the distribution name is part of that dataset, since there is no standard way of figuring that out across all *nix platforms. Do have that sourcetype in your indexed data?
