Separate Dev, Test & Prod as Automatic Groups Options

Setting the client setting manually is easy, just a right mouseclick on the computer, Edit settings, and add a new key/value pair.

From the client setting you need to create a property.

Assuming you have more than a fistful of computers it makes sense to automate this task.

There a several ways to get the data from cmdb into BigFix (maybe you want more information, like the responsible guy for the server, maintenance windows etc.).

  1. if the data is available on the server, eg. in a txt oder csv file you can create the property by using the data in the file
  2. Use the BigFix API: BigFix REST API Tutorial | BigFix Developer
  3. if the data is readable from computer name like @vk.khurava mentioned it’s also a good idea

I would strongly recommend to run intensive test, espicially for 2. on a dedicated BigFix Test server to avoid unwanted influence on production systems.
