Viewing check Fixlets from the HCL BigFix console

A check Fixlet becomes relevant when a client computer is out of compliance with a configuration standard. By reviewing the Configuration Management Fixlets, Console Operators can identify non-compliant computers and the corresponding standards.

About this task

To access the check Fixlets, subscribe to the Linux Checklist Fixlet sites.

Steps to view the check Fixlets in the HCL BigFix Console:

From the Security Configuration domain, navigate to All Security Configuration > Sites > External Sites.
Expand the checklist you want to view.
Click Fixlets and Tasks to open the Fixlets and Tasks section.
Click on one of the Fixlets displayed in the list.

The Fixlet opens with the following tabs: Description, Details, Applicable Computers, and Action History.
Click the Description tab to view details about the Fixlet.

The Fixlet applies to a subset of endpoints on your network, and the size of that subset is shown in the Applicable Computers tab.

The description typically includes information about the check, the rationale, and guidelines for remediation actions. If the Fixlet is relevant, you need to take action listed in the Remediation section of the description to address non-compliance. You can also access the associated analysis from this tab.

Note: The Check ID refers to the Source ID of the Fixlet.
If the checklist includes Deploy and Run, execute the Deploy and Run Task.
Note: Run the Deploy and Run Task periodically to collect the latest results. For more information about this task, refer to Configuring Endpoints.
