- Version History
- Introduction
  BigFix Insights is an application-driven extract, transform, and load (ETL) that helps you consolidate all the BigFix data into a single data warehouse.
- Working with datasources and sites
  This section describes in detail about adding, deleting, and editing a datasource in BigFix 10 Insights. Datasource represents an existing BigFix Enterprise (BFEnterprise) database containing Fixlets, analyses, computers, sites, and results that Insights uses to visualize important data across your organization. Multiple datasources can be added to Insights to consolidate and correlate data for endpoints spread across multiple BigFix Enterprise Servers. In each datasource, individual sites can be added or excluded for use in BigFix Insights. Matching sites across multiple datasources are represented as a Linked Item in Insights. Each deployment of bigfix has a unique identifier that we use internally to differentiate between datasources you might consume with insights. That identifier is the ActionsiteEpoch. At present, we support a single datasource per BFEnterprise installation.

- Scheduling an ETL
  The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process pulls data from a datasource and stores it in the Insights' database. An ETL process may consume significant time and resources and hence it is run on a customizable schedule to minimize disruption. In BigFix Insights, you can schedule an ETL daily, weekly, or monthly and also determine the history of an ETL for a datasource and a set of ETLs for all datasources.

  This topic describes how to view the activities history and export the logs.
