Base Serial How does your computer identify itself?

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

When LSHW data is send to collins a line with the following message gets created: Base Serial How does your computer identify itself?

If LSHW data is uploaded more than once a line is created for each time. E.g. three uploads of LSHW data generates this:

Base Serial (0)        How does your computer identify itself?
Base Serial (0)        How does your computer identify itself?
Base Serial (0)        How does your computer identify itself?

It seems to stem from the serial number not being parsed into collins as the Server Base serial is empty. However, the serial is defined in the system node in the output.xml (See “How to reproduce” for test xml)

I have tried with different LSHW data from different machines but with no change in the behavior.

How to reproduce Run the official docker image from: https://hub.docker.com/r/tumblr/collins/

Create an asset, put it into maintenance and upload lshw data:

curl -X PUT --basic -u blake:admin:first http://localhost:9000/api/asset/ABC-123
curl --basic -u blake:admin:first -d status=Maintenance -d state=HARDWARE_UPGRADE -d reason='Ready for upgrade' http://localhost:9000/api/asset/ABC-123/status
curl -X POST -u blake:admin:first "lshw@output.xml"  http://localhost:9000/api/asset/ABC-123

There is no indication from the API or the log within the docker container that there is missing any information.

Where output.xml contains the following LSHW xml output:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
