BigFix REST-API action data documentation

Usage and Config
1

Hi everyone,
recently, I tried to explore data from the BigFix REST-API, in this case specifically for actions.
I tried to retrieve the data from ongoing and closed actions.

While exploring the XML data provided by the API, some doubts raised from some data that I didn’t find any documentation about and wanted to deep-dive in to fully understand all the XML data provided.

I would like to ask if anyone could talk more about :

<State IsError="0">
<ApplyCount>
<RetryCount>
<LineNumber>

(contained in BESAPI → ActionResults → Computer)

<State IsError="0">
<ExitCode>
<ApplyCount>
<RetryCount>
<LineNumber>

(contained in BESAPI → ActionResults → MemberActionResult → Computer)

I hope I have been specific enough, please let me know if further data is required to better understand the situation.

Any feedback is more than welcome! :handshake:

P.S.
I hope I have created the topic in the correct category, if I have done something wrong and you have any advice on how to correctly categorize this topic please let me know, I am fairly new to the forum! :smiley:

What is in REST API output? (hcl-software.com)

How many times has this action been applied on that device.

I hope this helps, but I’m not sure about the LineNumber; however, when I look at my action status results, LineNumber represents the last executed line of action script.
