Modular Fixlets not applicable in RHEL 8 servers

Usage and Config Patch
1

Hi BigFix Friends,

I am currently patching RHEL 8 servers using BigFix. However, I have noticed that modular fixlets are not being detected as applicable. When I run yum check-update, I can see that there are modular updates available for patching, but they are not showing up in BigFix as expected.

If you guys are using BigFix to patch RHEL 8 servers, do you all follow below steps to enable modular fixlets? If I have 30-50plus servers I have to do it for each servers?

have you ran the fixlet " List enabled modules to file on client - RHEL 8 - x86_64 (Prerequisite) against your rhel8 servers? This is required. (step 3 Patch using modular Fixlets)

Yes, I have ran that fixlet on 1 machine. After running, I notice that modular fixlets are applicable to the machine.

Have you ran the fixlet together on more 30-50 machines? I believe each machines may have different version of modular fixlets.

yes, we run that fixlet on all our rhel8 servers. It runs as a policy action and reapplies every 24 hours.
