Viewing checks

A check Fixlet becomes relevant when a client computer is out of compliance with a configuration standard. By viewing the Configuration Management Fixlets, you can identify noncompliant computers and the corresponding standards.

Before you begin

You need a masthead for the appropriate Configuration Management site. For a list of SCM Checklists, see the SCM Checklists. From the BigFix console, gather the site and do the following steps to view the checks.

Procedure

  1. Select a Configuration Management checklist from the navigation tree.
  2. Expand a checklist.
  3. Click Fixlets and Tasks. The Fixlets and Tasks section opens on the right.
  4. Click one of the Fixlets that is displayed in the list. The Fixlet opens with the following tabs: Description, Details, Applicable Computers, and Action History.
  5. Click the Description tab to view the text that describes the Fixlet. The Fixlet window typically the following details: a description of the check, options to customize the configuration setting, and a related Action to remediate one or more systems to the expected configuration value. The Fixlet is applicable to a subset of endpoints on your network. The size of that subset is shown in the Applicable Computers tab.
