Installing the Requirements and Milestones reports manually

You must complete configuration steps to install the Requirements and Milestones reports in your BigFix environment. This information applies only to BigFix Compliance Analytics V1.8 or earlier.

Before you begin

To access the PCI DSS Requirements and Milestones Reporting from SCA, complete the following steps:
  1. Subscribe to either the PCI DSS Checklist for Windows 2012 site or the PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6 site.
  2. Deploy the Environment Setup Task - Download Requirements and Milestones Reporting Installer task to download the reports installer (import_milestones.zip package).
  3. Extract the BES directory with .bes files to your local disk.

About this task

To install the reports manually, you must import each of the .bes file to a separate custom site using the BigFix console.

Procedure

  1. Create a custom site for each .bes file.
    1. From the BigFix console, click Tools > Create Custom Site.
    2. Enter a name for the custom site and click OK. For example, PCIDSS_Milestone_1.
  2. Import a Fixlet to the custom site.
    1. On your local disk, browse for the Fixlet that you want to add in the custom site and double-click it.
      The dialog window on the BigFix console opens.
    2. On the right-upper corner of the console, select the custom site that you created for this Fixlet in step 1 and click OK.
      All the Fixlets are available in the BigFix console.
    3. Complete steps 1 and 2 for each .bes file.
    4. When all the custom sites for the Requirement and Milestones Reports are created and new Fixlets and analyses are imported in the BigFix Console, set the computer subscription for each site.
      Note: To enhance this process, you can use Computer Groups. You can create the groups manually, assign computers to them, and then assign the computer groups to the reporting custom sites.
    5. Run the Environment Setup Tasks.

      There are two separate environment setup tasks. One task is designed for the PCIDSS Milestone site and the other for all other Requirement and Milestones Reporting sites. Both of them are located under PCIDSS_Milestones site.

    6. Import data to BigFix Compliance Analytics by running an import on the BigFix Compliance Analytics console.
      Note: In case of updates to the Requirements and Milestones Reporting, you must delete the outdated content from the BigFix console. For more information, see Updating the reports manually.
