This information is not available in BFI out of the box, so you’ll need to perform some configuration in BFI to make it available in the API.
First, you’ll need to map a BFI Computer Property to this BigFix Computer Property. Use the Management --> Data Imports --> Computer Properties panel to define the data source for the BFI Computer Property. By default, the name will be the same in both systems
Hint: click [+ New] and begin to type the BigFix property name in the Data Source Property field where it says filter by property name … . Ignore the Name field, as it will auto-populate. Then click [Create].)
Next, perform a manual import or wait until the next scheduled data import to run. This may take some time if you have a large number of machines.
After the import has completed, you can verify that the mapping was successful by configuring the Computers report to show the new property and the value for each computer.
Now you can use the API call GET api/sam/schemas/associations/computer_details.json?token=<token> to find the computer_property_ number you’ll need for the final step.
Finally, use the computer_details association in conjunction with the api/sam/v2/computers REST API to retrieve the data along with the base computer information.
