A plug-in can be in one of the following states:
  • Not Installed
  • New Version Available
  • Up-To-Date
  • Not Supported
The dashboard has a live keyword search capability. You can search based on the naming convention of the servers, relays, and plug-ins.
Note: If you install the download plug-in on BigFix relays, you must also install it on the BigFix server to avoid download issues.
