BigFix

Purpose

Imports endpoint and patch-compliance data from HCL BigFix.

tip

Secret fields below accept either an AWS Secrets Manager ARN or a value pasted directly into SubImage's managed vault. See Secrets for details.

important

BigFix often sits behind a corporate firewall. If you run a SubImage Outpost inside your network, set tailscale_hostname to reach the internal endpoint. Otherwise expose the API over the internet.

Required Fields

Field Secret? Description
bigfix_username No BigFix API username
bigfix_password Yes Password for the BigFix API user
bigfix_root_url No Base URL of the BigFix REST API, e.g. https://bigfix.example.com
tailscale_hostname No (Optional) Internal hostname resolved via Outpost

Setup Steps

  1. Ensure the API account has at least Reader rights for the devices and sites you want to ingest.
  2. In SubImage, fill in bigfix_username, bigfix_password (or its AWS Secret ARN), bigfix_root_url, and — if using Outpost — tailscale_hostname.
  3. Save the module.

The integration authenticates with HTTP Basic over HTTPS.
