IBM BigFix WebUI is Now Available

Release Announcements WebUI (Release Announcements)
1

The IBM BigFix team is pleased to announce the first release of the WebUI.

The WebUI is a brand new way to manage endpoints in your deployment using a modern web application, outside of the BigFix console. The WebUI is a feature of the 9.2 Patch 6 version of the BigFix Platform.

Highlights:
• Overview – Your environment at-a-glance. Move quickly to common tasks and areas that need attention.
• Device List – View your devices and deploy content to them.
• Deployment List – See all actions taken in your environment.
• Patches – View and deploy Windows, Red Hat, Mac OS X patches.
• Software Packages – View and deploy software packages. Create software packages.
• Custom Content – View and deploy custom content.

Notes: This initial release delivers the functionality required by a subset of BigFix operators responsible for deploying patches, software, and custom content to their endpoints. Other operators will continue to be supported through the Windows Console as we build support for them in the WebUI. The WebUI also will not scale for all sizes of environments. Please read the documentation carefully as you plan to enable and use the WebUI.

@jhonda, where is CentOS and SLES endpoint support in the WebUI roadmap?

@cmcannady: Expanding patch site content support is definitely something we’re looking into after we’ve got the first release of the WebUI out. We’re currently evaluating all the things we want to do in the WebUI and figuring out when we can possibly do them. CentOS and SLES are definitely part of those discussions.

@dexdexdex, so getting a defined roadmap with estimated dates for CentOS and SLES for patch and custom content support is of high importance to several of our initiatives. If you would like more details as to where our need is coming from, we can setup a call to discuss more candidly.

Thank you for your interest in WebUI. CentOS patch support will be available by end of Q1. We also have slotted patch support for other OS in our roadmap but as @dexdexdex mentioned, we are evaluating lot of things internally and also learning more on the interest from our users and how WebUI will address critical use cases for their business. I would love to chat with you more and learn more about the need for supporting your business initiatives. Please feel free to email me at amaneka@us.ibm.com and would love to hear from you and take you through our plans for WebUI.
