Hi Team,
We have requirement where we have to create some automation plan in bigfix regarding some complex package installation on the newly provisioned endpoints. Now we have already created the automation plans and they are working fine when we run them from the bigfix console. But the requirement here is we have to initiate the automation plan actions via rest api and from console. Means the automation plan should be initiated via rest api and in the real time the endpoints on which we have to run the automation plan tasks should be updated from rest api as well.
Do we have any such possibility available in bigfix where we can initiate the automation plan via rest api call?
Yes !
- Generate master xml file using automation plan test action.
- Prepare feed or answer file for your automation plan master xml. (you can also store xml data in your tool if you are using any to create it over the fly)
- use some script or automation tool to post that xml with your feed/answer file using IEM CLI or any other method.
