Hi Lee, I am trying to use custom relevance statement for the computer group wthin this report ( (name of it) of bes computers whose (value of results (bes property âSBUâ,it) contains âTOCâ)
), but it errors with the message below. Withi this session relevance statment, i am able to get computers back within the BigFix Session Relevance Tester so I know the results are good.
Error: The operator âidâ is not defined.
Statement:
unique values of (id of it as string & â||â & (" â) of (ip addresses of it as string)) else (â ")) & â||â & ((year of it as string & â/â & month of it as two digits & â/â & day_of_month of it as two digits) of date(local time zone) of it & " "& (two digit hour of it as string & â:â & two digit minute of it as string & â:â & two digit second of it as string) of time (local time zone) of it) of last report time of it) of elements of unions of ((sets of (name of it) of bes computers whose (value of results (bes property âSBUâ,it) contains âTOCâ)))
Is there any issues with this report & version 8 for RHEL 5?
Since the upgrade to version 8 you can see that from week 4 there are suddenly more Fixlets available and more worryingly it is showing no patches have been applied. Can you think of a reason for this?
The subscribed sites have been changed as the site Patches for Redhat Enterprise Linux has been superseded & instead RHEL 3, 4 & 5 have been enabled. All 23 machines are RHEL 5
As you can see from the report there are still the same number of machines reporting in (23) Could changing the subscribed site loose the installed patch info?
I donât recognize the screenshot as from this report.
In any case, the report is independent of the content. You should investigate the data for your Red Hat site separately, probably using the BigFix Console.
Is there a way to not include âhiddenâ fixlets? There are certain things we canât patch for certain reasons (Java for example) so I globally hide those. I donât want my report to show those are needed because we canât patch it so it skews my numbers.
Thanks!
This is by far my favorite report that I use the most!
Yes, it is possible to filter the Fixlets only for those visible and exclude the hidden ones. There are Global and Local flags known respectively as âGlobally Visible Flagâ and âLocally Visible Flagâ.
Until and unless I modify the JavaScript source located below, you will have to modify the file yourself.
There are many places to make the change, here is an example code fragment, and what to edit:
Original code fragment for all Critical Fixlets for MS patches:
(sets of bes fixlets whose (display name of site of it = âPatches for Windows (English)â and source severity of it as lowercase = âcriticalâ and name of it as lowercase does not contain âcorrupt patchâ and name of it as lowercase does not contain âsupersededâ))
Change to:
(sets of bes fixlets whose (
color=red
globally visible flag of it = true and [/color]display name of site of it = âPatches for Windows (English)â and source severity of it as lowercase = âcriticalâ and name of it as lowercase does not contain âcorrupt patchâ and name of it as lowercase does not contain âsupersededâ))
When I added a filter for Content > Source Release Date, I no longer see any other Computer group beside âAll computerâ, All Windows Computers, and Custom Relevance Expression.
This is a most excellent report, and I use it often. I have requests to provide the results to others, and I would prefer to do this automagically instead of logging in and exporting the report through some fashion.
I saw in an earlier post how this is not possible to be scheduled because it uses Javascript. Is there any other way of getting this exported as an HTML via email?
Lee, any way to change this report to use either Groups or Retreived Property values when selecting computer targets? We donât really use computer groups because the properties that would define the groups are always an optoin in the console, and it would be nice to just use the same method in this report.
Would it be an easy thing to reduce this report to two reports that just create the tables using hardcoded values for filter, baseline and computer group? Iâd like to do that so I can automatically mail the CSVs out to various people. Has it been done? Any tips? Thanks!
This report work great! I am having problems using the custom relevance expression option in the report. When I enter in a statement, which returns the desired reults in presentation debugger, I recieve an error from the report âThe operator âapplicable computersâ is not defined.â Can anyone help me here?
I would like to return fixlets based on their category aswell as the severity
