Learn how to work with the BigFix Console.
The console is the visible face of BigFix, used by the operator to monitor and repair networked computers running the BigFix client.
Actions are scripts that run on selected targets. They are used to fix policy violation and security exposures and to run configuration steps. Fixlet, tasks, and baselines depend on actions to run their remediation mission.
Baselines are collections of Fixlet messages and Tasks.
Baselines allow you to group Fixlet messages and Tasks into a group for simple, one-click deployment.
When Baselines become relevant somewhere in your network, the BigFix Console adds them to the list of Baselines to be displayed under the Baselines icon in the Domain Panel navigation tree.
You can attach a comment to a Baseline, which other operators can read.
Baselines allow you to gather multiple Fixlets and Tasks into groups that can be applied immediately to any set of target computers.
You can hide a Baseline with the following procedure.
