BigFix API v. 2.5

BigFix has an API that is pretty useful. However, to get meaningful data I programed this interpreter. This is very much still in development, with new features to follow.

requirements

  • python3
    • BeautifulSoup
    • lxml
    • os
    • sys
    • requests
    • getpass
    • urllib3
  • BigFix
    • An account on BigFix that has proper role to query API

Install

Download the program

Make the follolwing Modifcations:

update python3 path
Install requirements
update my_url Variable to be your bigfix agent url

chmod 755 ./bigfix_api.py

2.5 Update

Everything is run from gen_asset_report(rep_type)

allows:

  • new = updates everything and gives you entire inventory
  • last = nothing is updated runs off last inventory cache file
  • current = pulls new inventory list from bigfix and reports on it. History file is not updated
  • new_servers = pulls new inventory list from bigfix and compares against history file
  • new_servers_hist_upd = pulls new inventory list from bigfix and compares against an updated history file
  • decom_servers = pulls Decom from bigfix history file and compares against new inventory file
  • decom_servers_hist_upd = pulls Decom from updated bigfix history file and compares against new inventory file
  • history= pulls new inventory list from bigfix and compares against an updated history file currently if you run with out a history file this will crash
