Finding if property is being used in a group or action targeting

Hi,

Is there a way to figure out programmatically if a particular property is being used for group memberships or action targeting? There are a bunch of properties that I am planning to change in our environment and i want to make sure it does not affect any existing actions.

Nothing automated that I know of. You’d have to search through all the actions etc on in the DB. I bet there may be a way to do this in session relevance @jgstew want to think of this?

There are some Session Relevance options:

  • targeting methods of bes actions
  • selected groups strings of bes actions
  • applicability relevances of bes actions

See here: https://developer.bigfix.com/relevance/reference/bes-action.html

Wow thanks. This works really well for properties used in action targeting. I checked bes computer groups but could not find something similar.

Looks like i have to try out if group membership works fine if i remove the property that was used for group membership. Or whether it retains the original relevance of the property.
