Note 6: Even if all resource keys are set to be ignored, the agent will always attempt to create a name.domain resource key based on the 'hostname' of the client computer. If it does not exist, it is possible to add the line in the 'MachineID' section. Note 5: Depending on the NS version, the 'ignore_resource_keys' field may or may not exist in the nf file. There may be multiple name.domain resource keys. Options are the local computer name or the DNS name, etc. Note 4: The name.domain value is based on the targeted settings 'Computer Information' settings in the NS/SMP Console. Note 3: Supported values are: name.domain, fqdn, macaddress, uniqueid, adnamedomain. Note 2: This field is a comma-separated list on a single line. Note 1: Values listed here will NOT be used as resource keys in events sent to the NS/SMP from the client. (Add the name and value entry if it doesn't currently exist.)


On the ULM client edit the file: /opt/altiris/notification/nsagent/etc/nf.This can apply to any situation where computer resources are merged because they have the same resource key values. (An NSE event is anything sent to the NS/SMP, including Basic Inventory, event transactions, inventory solution, etc.) This allows for exclusion of any values that would cause a conflict in a given environment. As of the Agent for Unix, Linux and Mac (ULM) 7.1, it is possible to configure which resource keys to ignore during generation of NSE events.
