Viewing Property Analyses

From the IBM BigFix Console, click on an item from the Analyses tab. In the bottom window, click on the Details tab. Here you can see the Relevance expressions behind a property analysis.

For example, select BES Component Versions from the Analyses list. Click on the Details tab to see the Relevance expressions behind each Analysis. These Analyses return the client, relay, console and server version of each client computer. For instance, BES Relay Version has the following Relevance statement:

if (exists regapp "BESRelay.exe") then version of regapp "BESRelay.exe" as string 
else "Not Installed"

This returns the version of the BES Relay, after first determining that it exists. If it does not, it returns ‘Not Installed’.

A property can return more than a single item. It can, for instance, return a tuple:

(total run count of it, first start time of it, last time seen of it, total duration 
of it) of application usage summaries "excel.exe"

This Relevance clause returns several properties that summarize the client’s usage of Excel.
