bes site

The site inspectors return the names and IDs of the specified site objects. As of BES 7.0, the BES custom site type has been merged with BES site, which now represents all supported types, including external sites, master action sites, operator sites, and custom sites. All properties of BES custom site are now accessible via BES site. As a compatibility measure, BES sites still returns only external and master action sites. The "external repository site", introduced with BigFix 11.0.7, allows BigFix to treat Git repositories as "external sites" and gather BigFix content directly from them. For more details, see External Repository Sites. The new external site type is recognized by a repository-specific gather URL, while the repository URL and branch define the source identity.
