Hello Community,
Do you know if there are plans to support RHEL 8 for the BigFix patch module. Customers are already upgrading their systems only to realize they cannot continue patching through BigFix.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Community,

Might be worth joining the roadmap webinar today to see if itâs announced or at least you can ask the question on that call.
Didnât know of the webinar being held today. Can you please share a link with me to watch it? I appreciate your help.
I just saw the webinar on demand but unfortunately no mention to RHEL 8 support was made on it. Perhaps someone from the community might know it.
This is the link to the webinar:

Thereâs another roadmap webinar next week, but I expect youâll get an answer before then anyway.
I am very interested in this topic as well.
We canât move to RHEL8 on a large scale until/unless BigFix provides patching support for it. As of now, they donât.
Hi Folks,
I did answer this in the chat q&a of the roadmap but it didnât make the overall meeting presentation. Our target for RHEL8 agent support is 9.5.14, with content support added a few weeks after.
Thanks for your response.
And when, roughly, will 9.5.14 be available?
Our target is September for 9.5.14 at this time (again no commitments, etcâŚ).
Ok, thanks for the information.
Is there an update to this?
We are almost at the end of October, and still no 9.5.14 and no RHEL 8 support.
We are quickly ramping up our use of RHEL 8, and are desperate for BigFix support of it.
Thanks.
Now that 9.5.14 is released (thanks HCL! ), is there a timeline for RHEL8 patch support? Like DeanF, we are eagerly awaiting this capability as well.
The intent is to patch content for RHEL8 out 2 weeks after the agent which has just been released with 9.5.14.
I see the RHEL8 site was released yesterday. Much appreciated!
Will the site for RHEL 8 be given a friendly name that is in line with the others, eg âPatches for RHEL 8â?
Ha ha, after enabling the site the name updated
When can we expect support for âPatches for RHEL ppc64le 8â?
We have started building RHEL8 servers in our environment. I have subscribed to RHEL 8, and downloaded our cert for RHEL 8 but I do not have any RHEL 8 patches. I have also made sure that the RHSM Plugin is up to date, 1.0.4.0 and all of these âRequirementsâ still produce no patches for v8. Anyone have anymore pointers that can help me out?
When running the RHSMPlugin.exe --Check-baserepos I do get a returned value that I have access to the three that I need:
Do you mean that no fixlets are showing up in your âPatches for RHEL 8â site? Click the âShow non-relevantâ button at the top of the console, so you can see whether there are a bunch of non-relevant fixlets in the site. So you can tell whether the site has not gathered, or whether clients are not reporting on it.
You said you subscribed the siteâŚdid you also subscribe clients to the site? That would be available on the Siteâs properties on the âComputer Subscriptionsâ tab or by checking the âSubscribed Computersâ branch in the listview beneath the site on the left pane.
