Any way to support multiple bigfix servers? We have 2 separate domains.

Thanks

Yes, this is actually one of the core purposes of the app. You would just put multiple stanzas into the bigfix.conf configuration file and it should just work.

Example:

# $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/bigfix/local/bigfix.conf
#
[bigfix_config1]
url = http://webreports1
user = username
password = password
soap_timeout = 600

[bigfix_config2]
url = http://webreports2
user = username
password = password
soap_timeout = 600

Thanks. It worked. It didnt work at first oddly enough because the order of my parameters doesnt match yours. Soon as I copy pasted your example and edited accordingly, it all worked. Thanks again.
