VMWare ESXi Patches

I’m trying to figure out how to determine what patches are available for an ESXi server. I deployed the proxy and vmware vcenter management extender to my relay and successfully configured the management extender. I don’t see any vm’s under the “Guest VM Overview” and i don’t see the esx servers anywhere. What are the next steps? Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Have you activated Analysis ID 905: Management Extender Status?

Check the log files on the relay - default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\Management Extender\Plugins\VMware ESXi 1\Logs

ESXi systems are proxied by the Management Extender will have a Device Type of ESXi Hypervisor or ESXi Hypervisor Virtual Machine

Be sure to read through the documentation here: Patch for VMware ESXi
