Post an idea
Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
Please use the following category to raise ideas for these offerings for all environments (traditional on-premises, containers, cloud):
Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management
Cloud Pak for Network Automation - incl Orchestration and Performance Management
Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps - incl Netcool Operations Management portfolio
Edge Application Manager

You could base a report on differences between on differences between BB_COMPUTERSYSTEM40_V and BB_OPERATINGSYSTEM62_V.
Whenever a Ping discovery is run, BB_COMPUTERSYSTER40_V receives an update when the DNS entry still exists, but as long as the OSSensor is not run, the lastmod date of BB_OPERATINGSYSTEM62_V is not updated.
We use this to identify login problems, but it could work for your purpose as well, assuming you're using L2 discovery. Good luck!

The query:
select
A2.FQDN_C, A2.CONTEXTIP_C , A2.LASTMODIFIEDTIME_T as "SYSTEM MODIFIEDTIME", A1.LASTMODIFIEDTIME_T as "OS MODIFIEDTIME", A1.OSCONFIDENCE_C
from cmdb.bb_operatingsystem62_v A1
join cmdb.BB_COMPUTERSYSTEM40_V A2 on a1.PK_C = A2.PK__OSRUNNING_C
where
-- Time difference between system update and os update is more than 2 days:
(A2.LASTMODIFIEDTIME_C - A1.LASTMODIFIEDTIME_C) >= 2*3600*24*1000
and
A1.osconfidence_c = 100
and
-- where not interested in systems that haven't been seen at all for 21 days.
A2.LASTMODIFIEDTIME_C >= (((TRUNC(sys_extract_utc(SYSTIMESTAMP),'MI') - to_date('01-JAN-1970','DD-MON-YYYY')) * (86400) * (1000)) - (21*3600*24*1000))
