Error description

  • In some cases in some environments, the field awsInstanceId of
    Computer System objects can get populated with the value
    received from commands used to get the instanceid of an ec2
    machine. These commands are always executed on the target
    machine iregardless if that the target is an ec2 machine or not.
    The value received can sometimes be HTML text for blocking the
    access. This blocking message gets incorrectly saved in the
    field and can result in storage error if the message content is
    very big. Additionally, if the same content is received for
    different computer system then those computer system can get
    merged. The fix will stop setting value of a blocking webpage
    text in this field.
