I am trying to come up with a good way to display relevant fixlets and open actions of a client our technicians.

For the relevant fixlets, I came up with this:

<div class=
"section"> <div class=
"sectionHeader"> Relavant Fixlets</div> <div class=
"subsection"> <table> <tr> <td>This PC is relevant 

for <b><?relevance number of relevant fixlets whose (exists header 
"Subject" of it and exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Source-Severity" of it and (not exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it or (value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"task" and value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"baseline")) and (not exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it or value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"analysis")) of sites ?></b> fixlets </td></tr> <tr><td> <table style=
"font-size: 11px;"> <thead><tr><th align=
"left">Fixlet Name</th><th align=
"left">Severity</th><th align=
"left">Release Date</th></tr></thead> <tbody> <?relevance trs of (td of value of header 
"Subject" of it & td of value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Source-Severity" of it & td of value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Source-Release-Date" of it) of relevant fixlets whose (exists header 
"Subject" of it and exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Source-Severity" of it and (not exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it or (value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"task" and value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"baseline")) and (not exists header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it or value of header 
"X-Fixlet-Type" of it as lowercase != 
"analysis")) of sites ?> </tbody> </table> </td></tr> </table> </div> </div>

I am having trouble finding some relevance to display recently executed actions. Does anyone know if this information can be access from the BesClientUI?

Hi dgibson,

The BigFix Agent throws away information about actions after the actions are stopped or expired so you won’t be able to get a very long history…

The BigFix log file has the information about recently run actions and it is certainly possible and an interesting idea to parse through it with relevance, but I am not sure if this is a great method…

I suppose since it is just a webpage, I may be able to use javascript to parse the log.

All i really want is to display the “Show all actaions from the last 30 days” on the technician page. For some reason the Progress tab in the Support Center doesn’t show the correct title for certain actions, like multiple action groups and baselines.

Hey dgibson,

You could probably do the parsing in relevance also…

What do you mean that the support center doesn’t show the correct titles? I think it should show what was in the console…

The title is blank with Multiple action groups, and baselines. I would post a screenshot, but I can’t seem to get the attachment to work.
