BigFix Archive manager

1

I am trying to copy logs files from windows machine to BigFix root server by below Action script.

//setup archive manager mode
if {exists setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode” of client}
parameter “archivesetting”=“{value of setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode” of client}”
else
parameter “archivesetting”=“0”
endif

//setup the archive parameters
setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode”=“2” on “{parameter “action issue date” of action}” for client
setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_SendAll”=“1” on “{parameter “action issue date” of action}” for client
setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_MaxArchiveSize”=“50000000000” on “{parameter “action issue date” of action}” for client

//collect logs
setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-{computer name}”=“C:\ProgramData\Qualys\QualysAgent\Log.txt” on “{parameter “action issue date” of action}” for client

//send the archive files
archive now

//Reset operating mode
setting “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode”=“{parameter “archivesetting”}” on “{now}” for client

I need a way to move the files from “\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\UploadManagerData\BufferDir\sha1” to move the files to custom path “C:\supportfiles” on root server within the action script.

Realistically, it shouldn’t be done within this actionscript, but rather with a parallel process of some kind (whether a parallel BigFix action against the Root Server, or a scheduled task, or other similar mechanism to move files from the UploadManagerData folder to an alternate location based on rules that you define.

Thanks @Aram

I am using the PowerShell to do this part now.

Source and destination directories

$sourcePath = “C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\UploadManagerData\BufferDir\sha1”
$destinationPath = “C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\wwwrootbes\Qualys_Logs”

Check if the destination path exists, create it if not

if (!(Test-Path -Path $destinationPath)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $destinationPath
}

File patterns to include

$filePatterns = @(“_0_log.txt", "_0_qualys-cloud-agent.log”)

Iterate over each file pattern and copy matching files

foreach ($pattern in $filePatterns) {
Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath -Recurse -Filter $pattern | ForEach-Object {
# Copy each file to the destination directory
Copy-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination $destinationPath -Force
}
}
