TADDM DB2 sensor enahancement

DB2 sensor executes db2find.sh during discovery that uses list db directory command to find out the Databases. This command lists the contents of the system database directory. In the command output there is a "Directory entry type" showing the location of the database; Remote, Indirect, Home and LDAP. However, TADDM does not fully consider these values and therefore shows all database directory entries as potential found databases on respective server under a DB2 instance record.

As we use LDAP to store our data sources on a global level, ywe have many entries with "Directory entry type" = LDAP. We expect that TADDM does only consider the entries with Directory entry type = Remote or Home. Also there some additional logic must be provided by TADDM, to find out the real database hosted on a given server as the database directory might show various aliases for a single database.
