Can someone suggests how to create the Health report of BigFix agents?
Are there particular elements that you would like to see from a âhealth report of BigFix agentsâ?
Have you seen the Health Checks Dashboard? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Console/c_deployment_dashboards.html
Generally what I believe, BigFix provides real time update for clients active or in active.
and reported clients in the console itself a âHealth Reportâ. But customer is asking âHealth Report of clientsâ same as SCCM console provides.
I am confused here. Regarding Health Check Dashboard, yes I know this.
The Bigfix console uses the âLast Report Timeâ to determine if an BES agent is active. It is âthe time at which the BigFix client on your computer last communicated with the BigFix serverâ. The console shows the inactive computers as âgreyedâ in the computer list view.
I have not seen this SCCM console âHealth Report of Clientsâ before. What sorts of things do they have in there? If you can give us some insight, we might be able to help you with BigFix equivalence.
Yes it is there in SCCM like validation check for all active machines and it results âpassâ.
Sorry to come back to the âDeployment health checkâ dashboard, It is not clear to me why the below âExpired Computersâ view doesnât fit your requirement. If you expand the âExpired Computersâ you get a list of not reporting computers. The âDuplicated Computersâ also shows the list of computers having more instances in the console. If you combine those two information you can find the âactualâ not longer responding computers.
What is missing from there, that you would like to see ?
looking for this type of report.
This is console Health. I know this already itâs a basic thing. we check this out while regular maintenance.
Let see if I can find something sort of based on customerâs concern.
@SysAdmin3 the SCCM report you linked too from Enhansoft seems be met with the BigFix dashboards in BigFix Support site. Look for âDeployment Overviewâ and âDeployment Health Checksâ under Dashboards>BES Support in the BigFix console.
No thatâs not exactly same. I already checked this.
Sorry I am unable to provide the right requirements how customer wants to see the report.
Thanks for the inputs.
