Description: Linux distribution and version
What is obsLinuxDistro?
This object reports a text string naming the Linux distribution and version running on the monitored host, as collected by the Observium agent. An administrator reads this to quickly inventory OS versions across a fleet of servers without logging into each one individually. For example, obsLinuxDistro returning 'Ubuntu 22.04 LTS' tells the admin this host is due for an upgrade evaluation as that release approaches end of support.
