BigFix does not want to patch

Hello,

I’m seeing a strange issue on two similar RHEL 6 servers and same BigFix action/baseline, however:

Server A -> action failed
Server B -> action completed

Server A logs:

grep “Not Relevant” /var/opt/BESClient/__BESData/__Global/Logs/20200426.log
Not Relevant - RHSA-2020:0726 - Sudo Security Update - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
########################################################

However, if I go the console, RHSA-2020:0726 is still there available to Server A.

Anyone can understand why BigFix would mark RHSA-2020:0726 as “Not Relevant” despite the fact that the console still shows the same RHSA applicable to Server A?

Thanks in advance.

Get some more details in that area of the logs. The Action gets the same title as the Fixlet, so you’ll need to determine (by ID) whether this is reporting “Not Relevant” for the action, or for the fixlet. Likely the action is becoming “not relevant” after it executes once.

I’m attaching the whole log.

IBM BigFix Restart (Force count:1) from ActionID 2119694

You should probably open a support incident. I’m not going to be able to read the whole log for you, I’m working from my phone.

Actually you lucked out, something caught my eye while scrolling

execute prefetch plug-in’ didn’t complete within 60 seconds. Black listing plug-ins matching thename

That means it’s taking longer for the machine to resolve dependencies than your plug-in timeout allows. There is a task, I think in each of the RHEL \ CentOS patching sites, to set a longer timeout. Try increasing it to 5 minutes or so and then restarting the BESClient.

I’m not familiar with the plug-in mechanism. Is this something to do with BigFix using let’s say ‘yum’ to resolve dependencies?

In the server in question yum does not work because of network restrictions however the “Server B” as the same restrictions and I don’t see the same timeout and patching run successfully.

Now I see a task called “Change Timeout for Prefetch Plugins” under ‘Patching Support’ which has the following:

“((value of setting “_BESClient_ActionManager_PrefetchPlugInTimeoutSeconds” of client as integer) < 1800) | True”

Is this what you are recommending that I use?

Thank you.

Yes, go ahead and use that.

You are using the RHSMPlugin now, perhaps your administrator configured it for you already.
