Linux Client Reporting OS Property inconsistently after upgrade to 10.0.7

I noticed inconsistent OS name reporting in my test environment (10.0.7).
After the upgrade, RHEL8 endpoints unsubscribed from the RHEL8 patches site.
Endpoints that had clients upgraded were reporting different than ones still running 10.0.3.

I upgraded 1 more to confirm:

Something changed between 10.0.3 and 10.0.7 and the agent is reporting the property differently than it was previously. This change doesn’t seem to be noted anywhere in docs or release notes that I could see.

I am not sure if this impacts anything HCL created but since the OS property has been used for site subscriptions, within baselines and custom content it all needs to be updated to account for this.

In 10.0.4 the output of the operating system inspector was changed to allign the behavior to previous Red Hat versions. It is documented in the Platform changelist. Look at the section Changes between 10.0.3 and 10.0.4.

Thank you for calling that out.
I read the what’s new and changelist but overlooked that line somehow.
