Check the BES.xsd schema definition at https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/bes_xsd.html for details. Basically there is a <Target> xml node that can have as a child element one of

  • <ComputerName>
  • <ComputerID>
  • <CustomRelevance>
  • <AllComputers>

To target by Groups or Properties, you’d use CustomRelevance.

See also https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/examples/create-action.html for a simple example that leverages the <AllComputers> approach.

Here’s another simple example based on <ComputerName>:

<BES xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BES.xsd"> 
	<SourcedFixletAction>
          <SourceFixlet>				
            <Sitename>MySite</Sitename>
            <FixletID>123</FixletID>
            <Action>Action1</Action>
         </SourceFixlet>
	 <Target>
	   <ComputerName>MyComputer</ComputerName>
	</Target>
     </SourcedFixletAction>
</BES>
