Looking for a comprehensive patching report – Device Name, OS/Application Patch, Install Status & Remediation Date

1

Hello BigFix Community,

I am looking for guidance or examples on generating a comprehensive patching report that includes the following details:

  1. Device Name – Computer/server hostname

  2. OS & Application Patches Applicable – List of all OS and application-level patches applicable to the device

  3. Patch Install Status – Whether the patch is installed or still outstanding

  4. Remediation Date – If the patch is installed, the date it was remediated/installed

We are currently using BigFix Web Reports and the Patch Compliance dashboard, which gives us device-level compliance (applicable vs installed vs outstanding), but we are struggling to get the remediation date (Time Remediated) as a column in the same report.

I have seen that the Last Became Nonrelevant property can be used as a proxy for remediation date using session relevance, but building a fully custom Web Report for this is not straightforward.

Has anyone built or come across a report (Web Report, custom analysis, or export) that combines all four columns in a single view?

Any session relevance examples, custom report templates, or BigFix Compliance report configurations that achieve this would be very helpful.

Our environment: Windows Server (2016/2019/2022/2025) managed via BigFix 11.0.5

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or shared experiences!

Regards,
Bharat

With BigFix 11.0 Patch 5 is now available! a new function for remediated fixlets has been added. Have you seen this?

Could you please let me know where to check?

The version of your Webrerports is shown after login in the upper right corner below “preferences” and “logout”.

Regarding the report itsself, there is an example Report “Fixlet Remediation History By Computer Name Report” available which can be used as a starting point.

Personally I find it a little bit confusing that some properties are only available in BigFix Explorer.

Yes, this is absolutely possible. You can use session relevance queries to pull the data, and then wrap the output in HTML and CSS to format it however you'd like.
