Hidden Fixlet Globally

Usage and Config Patch
1

Hi Team,

I have encountered a fixlet that has no applicable computer and also globally hidden.

Is bigfix can automatically hide a fixlet globally? or someone hide them globally?

If Bigfix can hide automatically what is the baseline in-order to hide the fixlet?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Pogi

Fixlets can in fact be globally hidden either automatically, or manually, though in the automated case, it’s not done at the per Fixlet level.

Here is the documentation to manually hide a Fixlet: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Console/c_hiding_fixlets_and_tasks.html

And here some information on how to configure BigFix to automatically globally hide Fixlets (see DefaultFixletVisibility, and defaultHiddenFixletSiteIDs): https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Installation/c_list_of_advanced_options.html
