Creating Property Analyses

You can create your own properties. These allow you to track any combination of software, hardware and firmware that you desire, across your entire network. Once created, the results of the property analysis can be printed or charted.

For instance, you might want to monitor the status of the operating system languages across your network. You could use a Relevance clause like this to retrieve the information:

Q: system language
A: English (United States)
I: singular string

You can give this expression a name that you can track, such as ‘System Language’. Here’s how:

From the Tools menu, select Create New Analysis. Enter the title and description of the analysis, and then click on the Properties tab. Enter your desired Name, Relevance expression and evaluation period in the appropriate fields. Once activated, this Analysis will report back to the IBM BigFix Server, allowing you to view or chart the results.
