I am using Bigfix on a large server farm for just patch management and I only need to know a servers patch state once a day. I have set the heartbeat down to once a day, but I see the BES service taking system resource (I/O, CPU, Memory) all day long. When I go into Manage Properties from the Tools Menu almost all of the properties are greyed out and will not allow me to change the evaluate time to 1 day. Is there something else I need to do so the BES agent only gathers data once a day. This would allow me to really minimize the system impact of BigFix accross the server farm.
