Which property source sets system.collector?

I realized I have several windows collectors that have system.collector set to false for some reason, and I cant figure out why. Because they are definitely collectors.

I hate to ask such a basic question but does anyone know which PropertySource sets that? I looked through the Device_BasicInfo code, and I didnt see it. Maybe I missed it. Maybe its upstream from Device_BasicInfo, because I do see Device_BasicInfo referring to some other system properties as part of its logic, from the host properties.

I need to figure out why I have a bunch of collectors, in my collector section, that monitor themselves, have valid links to themselves in the resource tree, but on the resource tree, system.collector is false. But on some it is true.

Thanks!

    I don't exactly recall the rule that LM uses to tie a Collector to a specific device (normally it happens automatically during the wizard). When LM doesn't link them up, the Collector page doesn't hyperlink to the device.

    I think it was something like making sure the collector monitors itself and has the "collector" category. LM support can likely confirm that. If you get confirmation, let us know!
