Bigfix server information for DB version

Hi,

Is there any information for Bigfix Server connecting which SQL or version?
If customer wants to provide that the Bigfix Server exactly connect to the right DB. How do I know which DB is bigfix server connect now?

Thanks.

For Windows/SQL, you can check the DSN sources in odbcad32.exe.

Thanks for reply.

But how to prove that the Bigfix Server is connecting. It seems there is no information on Bigfix tool or GUI could check about it.

How do you mean?
In my experience when the root server is failing to connect to the databse, I can’t open the console. When that’s occurred I’ve found related data in the server’s relay log (it’s either besrelay.log or relay.log or something like that in the BES Server directory).

Hi,

Customer wants to know the information on Bigfix Server like the following :

Connect DB:
10.xx.xx.xx or hostname
SQL 2016

To prove that the Bigfix is using this SQL.

Thanks.

Yes, - to get information like that will require a bit of searching.

From the BESRelay.log file mentioned earlier there is this:

And - maybe this helps - I am not a db2 specialist - so I am just adding a suggestion. Maybe someone else has a better idea (and this says nothing about connection with Windows/SQL).

And I am thinking that there may also be something to show the configuration using BESAdmin.sh - but that is just a guess.

Hope this helps!
