Is there a way in the BigFix Web report retrieved computers with pending restart status regardless of its operating system?

Reporting

We wanted to pull out a report in the BigFix Web Report with computers with pending restart status regardless of it’s operating system and state.

I did this by creating an Analysis with a new property “Restart Required”.
The Relevance I used for the property was “pending restart”.

I typically see Windows and Mac systems showing Pending Restart, I don’t think the Linux clients can do this at this time (or our Linux guys stay on top of the restarts, which I doubt).

On Linux clients, there’s no centralized way of determining a system needs a restart, so only BigFix actions that required a restart are recognized.
