I have automated patching on all our Windows servers with BigFix patch.
Lots of times some patches fails to install for different reasons.
I can’t find anyway in BigFix Webreports to send reports on baseline what installed and what not.
Anyone have any experience on how to report on this or have any other good way to follow on failed installed patches?
This won’t help with sending emailed reports, but see this custom console dashboard:
Something similar is possible in a custom web report, but this particular style of custom web report won’t work well emailed out because of how it works.
To test this dashboard, you can download it, put it inside an empty folder, and then use the console “load wizard” option in the debug menu. This will only work for the current console session and it will go away once the session is closed and the console is opened again.
Otherwise you could create a custom site called “Dashboards” or use an existing site and add it to that site as a site file, but DO NOT send it to clients. Then all operators that have read access to this site would be able to see the dashboard.
