Hello Jeff, could you provide some details here? Are you wanting to look at all devices within the environment wether or not they have a bigfix agent installed?

If so i’d recommend looking into the Asset Descovery (http://support.bigfix.com/bes/sites/assetdiscovery.html) It has the ability, using the nmap tool, to determine what systems are on your network as well as printers, routers, ip phones, etc…

Just remember to look further into any legal issues with running nmap at http://nmap.org/book/legal-issues.html.

If you are refering to what applications are installed on those systems - mac is already semi-supported. The data is gathered, but you have to build your own entries in the catalog. The catalog is a huge undertaking - creating and maintaining the entries. Hopefully BigFix will build the catalog out to include mac software!
