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.
Client Computers represent those computers in your network running the BigFix Client.
You can perform the following actions on the computers:
BigFix can be used to analyze the computers in your network.
The BigFix Console allows you to group your computers to target them more efficiently.
You can attach a comment to a BigFix Client Computer, which other operators can read.
You can collect information from BigFix Clients by defining various retrieved properties.
You can create custom BigFix Client Dashboards, similar to those in the Console.
You can change the locked status of any BigFix Client in the network.
This feature allows you to remove computers that are no longer reporting in, such as decommissioned computers.
