Hi
I need your support to help me find a solution to this problem:
We have the following 3 BigFix modules with for example the following quntity:
- Patch Management: 2000 MVS
- Compliance Management : 8500 Client Device + 2000 MVS
- Inventory Management : 2000 MVS
We want to know our compliance position, that is to know the quantity consumed on each license line
As a solution I will implement the following scenario:
For Compliance Management: I created the HCL editor with Patch Management as software component, and as signature I used the BESClient file. Each server or workstation that contains the BESClient binary (or BESClient.exe) will be considered as a consumed license. The metric used is ‘Install Seats’. MVS is not calculated
For the inventory module, I will check the existence of the wscan process. If this process exists on a PC or server, it is normally a consumed license of the inventory module.
I can’t find a solution to count the consumed licenses of the Patche Management module
Can you help me to find a more efficient solution, as my solution is based on Inventory. If this module is not installed I can’t count the number of licenses.
Is there an API to run on BES (not BFI) that returns the consumed licenses of each module?
Regards
