Integration Status Plugin Support for HCL BigFix

Summary

Tenable is announcing the release of Integration Status Plugin support for HCL BigFix. The purpose of this additional functionality is to provide users with helpful information regarding the success or failure when using HCL BigFix with a target that it manages. This gives users a simple way to check on the status of the integration success without having to enable plugin debugging on a per-host basis. Additionally, it improves scan review and performance. In the event that integration status failed, the user can enable plugin debugging, re-scan, and review logs associated with a particular integration for more detail.

Scope

The integration status plugin will check to confirm that the configured credential can authenticate to the HCL BigFix server. Then the plugin will check to ensure that it can use that credential to gather information about the configured target. If there is a problem with the HCL BigFix server or the packages on specified target(s) then the integration status plugin will report the error and guide the user where to gather more debug information.

Impact

There is no impact to existing scans. If users encounter issues, please open a ticket with Technical Support.
