My company runs many AIX and Windows boxes and we manage practically all of them via BigFix. I am running into a problem creating a custom report for two specific fixlets to see what applicable computers need to be patched, but I want to filter the results via what group they are in (Like we have multiple environments so some are named (OPS-BSE-Prod, OPS-WLV-Prod, etc.) I am trying to search these two groups to see what boxes need the MS08-001 and MS08-002 patches, but it would be nice to use this functionality for any fixlet or any group.
Can someone please help steer me in the right direction with this? I have spent hours in the web console and keep coming up short.
Try an ‘Issue Assessment’ report on the create reports page in Web Reports. You can select a set of Fixlets to report on and group the results by computer group as well as individual retrieved properties.
If you only want to see 2 particular groups, then after you’ve generated the report with all computers, you can create a filter that specifically includes your 2 groups and removes everything else. You can create the filter from the navigation bar on the left of the report.
I am trying to do something along the same lines. I need to produce a report that has summary information outstanding critical patches by computer group that I can export for regular reporting purposes. This would save a lot of tedious manual work. I don’t really need the detail on each patch, just the totals. Have looked through web reports and the console, and can’t get going in the right direction. Appreciate any help.
