List of settings and detailed descriptions
Some of the configuration settings are commonly used and they have tasks already documented in the BigFix Support site for your assistance. If such a task exists, it is indicated along the Task available ? row in the tables which you can use. If no task exists, create the configuration setting manually.
Making a configuration setting
You can make a configuration setting in two ways: through the BES Console or manually on the endpoint.
- Open the BES console and navigate to the Computer section under the All Content domain.
- Select the computer(s) to which you want to apply the configuration settings. Note: To change a configuration setting for the server or relays using this mechanism, you must select the computer(s) that have the server or relays installed.
- Right-click the computer(s) and choose Edit Computer Settings.
- Create a custom setting using a Name and Value pair from the configuration table.
- Click OK to send the configuration setting through an action named
Change Multiple Settings or a similar one.
The setting takes effect after the action is complete.
- View the computer's updated setting. To view the updates, right-click the computer and select Edit Computer Settings or click the computer in the computer list and then select the Summary tab. Then, scroll down to the Client Settings section.
Manually on a Windows endpoint
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
. To
update the settings, do the following steps: - Create a key at the registry location and give it a name.
- Create a string value (REG_SZ type) named value within the key.
- Set the value data within the value.
Manually on a Mac endpoint
On MacOS, you can manually change your BigFix Client settings from the command line.
sudo /Library/BESAgent/BESAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BESAgentControlPanel.sh -stop
sudo "/Library/BESAgent/BESAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BESAgent" -setSettings "/path/to/file.json"
sudo /Library/BESAgent/BESAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BESAgentControlPanel.sh -start

Action management
The settings described in this section are made on the BigFix Client to configure how actions are run locally.
Settings affecting data download on the Client
Whenever an action requiring the download of one or more than one files is taken, the target agent prevents the action from running on the client if the total size of the downloads associated to the action exceeds the value set in _BESClient_Download_SizeLimitMB, and the Client is not connected to a preferred relay.
The Client installed on the Server and the Client/Relay do not consider the setting _BESClient_Download_SizeLimitMB, allowing always the download (on the Relay/Client the condition is true when the Relay is active).
The connected relay is a preferred relay if:
- The relay selection associated to the Client is the Manual Relay Selection, and the connected relay is the primary or the secondary relay.
- The relay selection associated to the Client is the Automatic Selection with Affiliation, and the connected relay is member of an affiliation group belonging to the affiliation list. The number of affiliation groups belonging to the affiliation list can be configured using the setting _BESClient_PreferredRelay_MaxAffiliationsToCheck. The special affiliation group "*" is never used for setting a preferred relay.
- The connected relay is either in the same sub-network of the client, or the number of network hops from the Client to the relay is lower than the value configured in the setting _BESClient_PreferredRelay_MaximumHopCount. In this case there is no dependency from the relay association method selected on the Client.

Settings affecting wait and waithidden commands on the client
You can use the wait command, as part of an action, to wait for the completion of a specific process or program before continuing with the next actionscript command. You can also use the waithidden command to run the process or program in a hidden window. When defining the wait command, you can optionally specify an override section to change some of the default behaviors, represented by keywords, that are applied at runtime on the target Clients. If you do so the different behavior applies only to the program or process triggered by that wait or waithidden command on all the clients where the action runs. The settings listed in the following table allow you to define the default behavior for timeout and disposition on a specific client for all the programs or processes triggered by any wait or waithidden commands, unless it is specified differently in an override section of that specific wait or waithidden command definition.

The PostFile program receives the chunks of files posted by the Upload Manager and appends them to its own copy of the file. The Upload Manager specifies the range of bytes being posted and the sha1 of the file, which is used as the filename. For details about the configuration settings related to this component, see Post File in BigFix Configuration Settings.
For details, see PostFile.

The Upload Manager coordinates the sending of files in chunks to the Post File program. You can throttle the upload dataflow to conserve bandwidth. The file system uses 64-bits, sufficient for file sizes of up to 264 – 1 bytes in length.

There are six values of
BESClient_Resource_PowerSaveTimeoutX
(where X ranges from 0 to 5) that control how
many minutes the client sleeps; they will be applied based on
both Network and Power Supply conditions.
In cases where the network is "Connected", if there is at
least one network interface with internet connection, the
battery power is evaluated as follows:
