It appears that Bigfix Inventory does not inventory their own product. If I create a report of Bigfix components, I do not get a metric count for Bigfix Inventory and Lifecycle ClientDevice. I have to count the client installs from the Bigfix console and then enter the count into the Bigfix Inventory report. I do not understand why BFI can count the client devices.
Have you checked the Reports -> Software Summary?
Software Summary is a good tip, but Bigfix Inventory should still calculate a metric. I should be able to make a metric report and have the number calculated rather that me entering them manually. Also, Software Summary does not calculate RVU. Our workstation use client device, and our servers use RVU.
Have you looked into Activating the license counting process? This creates and distributes software ID tags to your endpoints, which is then discovered by BFI.
