Hi Team,
My requirement is i want to export following linux command output through bigfix webui or view in bigfix computer like uptime.
“grubby --default-kernel”
If possible to please guide me.
Running a command should be considered a last resort when trying to retrieve information from endpoints via BigFix. This is because executing a command requires deploying an action across all targeted devices, which introduces additional overhead, it also necessitates writing the output to a file and then creating a custom Retrieved Property to parse and display that data in the BigFix Console.
This approach is more complex and time-consuming compared to directly reading the required information from an existing file on the system. If the data is already available in a standard or predictable file location, we can help you write a relevance expression that reads it directly eliminating the need for a policy action altogether. This method is faster, more efficient, and avoids unnecessary load on your infrastructure.
