After adding device with auto-discovery, I can see that a word indicating an manufacturer such as HP, Cisco, Dell appended to the existing name
Too often this information does not match the actual device.
Here is an example. Although it is the HP DL20 server, it is misrecognized as a Cisco Device. ------------------------------------------------------------------- WIN-0FJ4N08JMC7(192.168.0.205) [Cisco Device IIS] -------------------------------------------------------------------
Which OID does PRTG collect with?
Article Comments
There are a lot of wrong matches since 20.x.x.x version. I am using 20.3.62.1397.
Here are some examples.
------------------------------------------------------------
HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 [Cisco Device]
Samsung M453x Series [Cisco Device HP Printer]
WIndows 2012 Server [Cisco Device]
HP-UX vm02 [Cisco Device]

Hello Jonathan,
PRTG compare the received results from the scan of the OIDs with an internal database. In some cases manufacturers are using same OIDs, so it could be possible that there are some wrong matches.
