BigFix integration
Enterprise endpoint discovery and patch management at scale.
What it connects
- Get real-time inventory of all managed endpoints with OS, hardware, and IP details across Windows, Linux, macOS, and UNIX.
- Retrieve logical computer groups and team memberships to organize endpoints by function and location.
- Access available patches, tasks, and fixlets from content sites to understand remediation options.
- Query deployment actions and their current status to track what's been deployed and where.
What it automates
- Deploy patches and custom tasks to targeted computers or groups in bulk.
- Stop running actions to pause or cancel deployments mid-flight.
- Update individual computer client settings to enforce security and compliance policies.
- Create dynamic computer groups based on relevance rules for better targeting and compliance monitoring.
In practice
- Discover which computers are missing critical security patches and automatically deploy fixes during your maintenance window.
- Group endpoints by OS type or network location, then monitor compliance by checking deployment action status across each group.
- Run ad-hoc relevance queries to find endpoints matching security criteria, then push configuration updates or security baselines.
- Track endpoint health and patch application across thousands of machines by querying agent last-report times and deployment history.
