Recent Errors in BigFix Airgap Files

Usage and Config Platform

Hello All,

WE are seeing erros in the airgap logs that lead me to believe there are issues/errors within a few of the fixlets being gathered and inported. I don not think ( not 100 percent sure) that this has anything to do with what we are doing but with the gather/import itself.

Below are the erros we are seeing in the airgap logs, Is anyone else seeing this?

This is, so believe, expected for the RHSM sites. They use the RHSMDownloadPlugin to connect to Red Hat’s service to download patches, and url’s, size, sha1 are not known until installation time. You would need to use the RHSMDownloadCacher to download the repository offline, the AirgapTool alone doesn’t handle that piece.

Not sure about the Client Manager for Antivirus site though … @bma ?

Thanks Jason, umm interesting there are also errors in the enterprise security site and the fact that some of these indicate there is missing size or hash values is also odd to say the least.

The Client Manager for Antivirus ones listed (615 & 644) in site version 4404 seem to be missing a numerical size value in some of the downloads.

I don’t know much about the Client Manager for Antivirus site but just from the context of the rest of the fixlet’s action, my guess is that this is likely a defect and not intentional.

I have forwarded this to the appropriate team to take a look.

Fixlet 1107431 in the Patches for Windows(EnterpriseSecurity) site (version 3573) looks like has a syntax error. The prefetch command is incorrectly separated into two separate rows instead of one.
This I have forwarded to the appropriate team as well.
