is there any limitation to the file size that can be imported to bigfix ?
Do you mean a WIM image being importing into BigFix OS Deployment and Bare Metal Imaging dashboards? I’m up around 30 GB there in a single image. I don’t know of a limit. But, the act of Importing first does a sha1 calculation of the WIM file - and it will go very slow if you’re accessing the WIM file via a network path. Copy it locally to the console before trying to import for better performance.
What I need here to import big xml file as a single action to bigfix using restapi but it seems it will take too much time to be imported, any other way to do it in shorter time for example send compressed file using restapi, is it possible?
Thanks
How big of an action are you talking about? What qualifies as “too much time to be imported”?
I haven’t done much with REST myself, but there are others on this board who have. Looking at you, @jgstew!
I’m a bit confused about “time to import”.
Is the big XML file a file that will be downloaded, or is it an XML file that is the representation of an action?
If it is just a file download, then you don’t need to import/upload it at all. You can just generate a prefetch for it and have it be located on any web server accessible by the root.
What is the file size? How long is it taking?
Hi All,
Yes it’s xml file that is representation of action to update bigfix clients settings, so I need to import it as an action to be executed.
The file is around 30M, it took around 4 hours but after that the console was not responding, that’s why here I am asking about the limitations create sub actions based on that.
Thanks a lot!
