any additional info on this server, like version or host OS? While those may not make a difference on this module, we've been adding that for consistency. Something like
### DB2 version a.b.c.d on Ubuntu 16.04

This module currently returns only the node name and product id. I'll check if I can make an PR on the module to include more info on the server.

I've checked the module implementation and it looks like we cannot get more info on the server only by the db2 discovery service

Yes, however I assume you own the device being scanned and would therefore have some insight into what version and OS it's being run as.
While it may not be displayed by the module, think of it like this. In 2 years when this module stops working, we'll look back at the tickets and docs and be able to say "we know there was good output when running on foo operating system and baz db2 version. Lets go back to that and then confirm it still good, and that it was db2 changing how it works, and not some downstream effect of another framework change."
It's not required, but I think it makes a nice difference.

- Added information on the server and Database versions - Example on product id output

No issues with that. I've had a lot of life changes (that I knew were coming), and thought they would have subsided by now, but alas not yet. I'll be back, but thanks for picking up my slack! |
