Application Feature

The topic explains the application features.

Fetch DEX Scores
The Fetch DEX Scores button is displayed when the Configuration Item (CI) field contains a valid asset.

When clicked, the application performs the following actions:

  • Calls the DEX Device Information API to retrieve the Computer ID using the asset name.
  • Uses the retrieved Computer ID to invoke the DEX Scores API.
  • Fetches the latest DEX scores and populates the HCL BigFix DEX Scores related list.
View DEX Scores
The View DEX Scores button displays the detailed DEX scores in an HTML pop-up window.

The scores are presented using the same colour coding as the BigFix DEX portal, making it easy to identify the status of each score.

Remote Session
The Remote Session button initiates a remote support session with the BigFix Remote Controller.

When clicked, the application performs the following actions:

  • Invokes the Remote Controller Authentication API to generate an OIDC token.
  • Uses the generated OIDC token along with the logged-in ServiceNow user's email address to authenticate and validate the remote session URL.
  • Upon successful authentication, it launches the BigFix Remote Controller Web Controller session, allowing the support engineer to establish a remote connection to the endpoint. Page
