This post is for my own sanity, and will explain how I went ahead and got Linux Server (Ubuntu 16.04.1) reporting in my BigFix Server.
Installation of the Client:
1. Create a directory - mkdir /etc/opt/BESClient
2. Download the associated file for your Linux Client from here.
3. Install the deb file using dpkg -i
4. Copy the Masthead from your BigFix Server over to the Linux Server and rename it:
wget http://:port/masthead/masthead.afxm
cp masthead.afxm /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm
5. Start the service - /etc/init.d/besclient start
Using built-in QnA functionality:
One of the biggest things that I did notice/like is that it does have the ability to use either graphical QnA if you have a graphic version instead, or CLI QnA, I'm still learning some of the Linux Relevancy and how it works, but its pretty much the same as what you use within Windows:
1. Create a file called runqna and open it with your favorite text editor, entering the below code:
2. Make it executable - chmod a+x runqna
3. Then run the script - ./runqna
