BigFix Insights

Pre-requisites

  • An entitlement to install and use BigFix Insights
  • BigFix INsights requires a Windows WebUI Server that is subscribed to the BigFix Insights content site (currently two sites, the External Content site with Sample Reports and the WebUI content site).
  • An SQL replica or offline copy of the BigFix enterprise Database Ingestion data source. This MUST NOT BE THE PRODUCTION BigFix server. A REPLICA is required to serve as the datasource for BigFix Insights. The replica can be facilitated by a variety of SQL processes including backups, T-Log shipping and SQL Alawys On technology.
  • BigFix Insights requires MS SQL Server 2017 or 2019
  • Insights Data Lake must be generated from a Windows computer that is running WebUI.
  • To represent the reports that come with the product, a Tableau license agreement is required to run and view the provided Insights Tableau workbooks. This license is a separate entitlement from Insights. A minimum of one Tableau Creator license is required. You can use the explorer or view licenses to view workbooks.

This looks to be a fairly complicated installation/configuration process. I believe we have a group that already has Tableau licenses, but I don't know if there will be enough desire to integrate Tennable and BigFix in order to be able to implement this.
