Hi There,
I’m a complete noob on Relevance language and the struggle is very much real for me. I am trying to create an Analysis that tells me the group membership of all 2003 servers and thats it. This seems simple to me but I just don’t no where to start so any help/guidance will be much appreciated. I’m still looking at other resources/guides as well.
Thank you Kindley
First, download the Fixlet Debugger/QnA tool. You’re going to need it, and it’s somewhat self documenting.
The v9.5.13 Fixlet Debugger/QnA tool download can be found on https://support.bigfix.com/bes/release/9.5/patch13/
Copy it to a convenient location for you (on your local system), Unzip it and run FixletDebugger.exe
In the (qna) tab , you preface relevance clauses with Q:, so type the following …
Q: Operating System
Click the Evaluate button, or the Green Circular Arrows in the tool bar.
On my Laptop, I get the following response …
A: Win10 10.0.17134.885 (1803)
T: 0.242 ms
Now try the following …
Q: Operating System contains "Win10"
You should get …
E: The operator "contains" is not defined.
This is because the “Operating System” object is not a String, so we need to “re-cast” it as a String.
Q: Operating System as String contains "Win10"
Now the response I get is …
A: True
T: 0.241 ms
So to look for Windows 2003 servers, you could try a clause that looks something like …
Operating System as string contains "Win2003"
When I mentioned that the FixletDebugger/QnA tool was Self Documenting, try this …
Q: properties whose (it as string as lowercase contains "operating system")
Hi TimRice,
Thank you so much I will give this a try and report my findings
You might want to create a “computer group” to group your Windows 2003 machines. The console provides a way to automatically create the correct relevance (see my example for win2008).
Thank you this was also helpful
This ended up working for me…Thank you so very much for your help. My issue is solved.
