Currently in our deployment all computers are subscribed to the following sites provided by BigFix.
Patches for AIX
Patches for ESX
Patches for HP-UX
Patches for RedHat Enterprise Linux
Patches for RedHat Linux
Patches for Solaris
Patches for Solaris Maintenance
Patches for SUSELinux Enterprise
After reviewing how many linux/unix endpoints we have I discovered we currently only have 3 end points (14,000+ Windows/Mac machines)
Have any other BigFix customers changed the default behavior of these sites to subscribe computers based on the retereived preoprty OS instead of just all computers? To me it seems like a waste having 14,000 machines syncs against these sites when we only have 3 end points that may actually be relevant to the content inside them. Would there be a performance improvement if I changed the computer subscriptions for these sites? I’m almost tempted to unscubscribe from since no content related to the patches contained in these sites has ever been sent out to those 3 end points in almost 2 years.
