Hi,
Basically I would like to enable the server diagnostic tool, Seems that it should be enable using
the Regedit,exe, however I can’t find it. Is there another place to check it out?

How can I enable it?

Hi,
you can manage it with the BigFix Console.

Select your Relay-Server from “Computers” -> “Edit Settings”.
After you have enabled it, you must restart the Relay service.

I have example fixlets/tasks for setting client settings here: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/tree/master/fixlet/clientsettings

I also have a “Client Settings Manager” Console Dashboard that makes it easy to create the fixlets/tasks to set client settings: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/dashboards/ClientSettingsManager.ojo

These can be adapted to set any setting and are the method I would recommend for setting client settings over any other method, though many methods are available. This option also has the benefit of working for all operating systems in the exact same way.

You can also edit the registry directly and restart the client service. (which is typically required when setting them this way, but not usually when using the method above) The settings are generally found here in the windows registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client

This option only works for windows clients.

Thanks guys! , It is working now :wink:

The _BESRelay_Diagnostics_Enable client setting had been added when the agents / relays were still 9.2
After upgrading the relay/agent to 9.5.7 we could not access the Relay Diagnostics page.

In the end the solution was to delete that client setting, and then re-add it as a new setting.
