Getting comment data from an automatic group

[darroch]

Hi,

I’m trying to obtain the comment data from an automatic group using an api call.

I’m not able to get it working with session relevance or using the /api/computergroup/ call

Can anyone advise if this is possible?

Thanks,

Yes! we do have relevant inspectors: Inspector Search | BigFix Developer

comment data from an automatic group using an api call

Try the following query:
Q: (id of it, name of it, texts of comments of it) of bes fixlets whose (exists comments of it)
A: 94, Fixlet Test1, '__op_1' has marked this object as hidden
A: 7452, Test, Hi There!

Do not be confused by the use of bes fixlets. Although the inspector name suggests Fixlets only, the results can include both Fixlets and Automatic Computer Groups. This appears to be by design and can lead to confusion when interpreting the output.

To reliably differentiate between Fixlets and Computer Groups, you can use flag-based detection and filter the results accordingly:
Q: (id of it, name of it, texts of comments of it, group flag of it) of bes fixlets whose (exists comments of it and group flag of it and not fixlet flag of it)
A: 7452, Test, Hi There!, True

Fantastic, thank you for the reply. I can safely say I would never have found this.
