i have been pushing the logs from bigfix action to upload manage. And from the uploade manager you can send to anywhere.

This uploade the sox.txt to upload manager.

\nsetting “BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-{computer name &"”& (month of it as two digits & day_of_month of it as two d
igits & year of it as string) of current date}" = “/tmp/soxtxt” on “{now}” for client
\nsetting _BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode = 2 on “{now}” for client
\narchive now\

You should be able to move that file to the wwwrootbes folder, and let the client download it from there, once you have used the upload manager.

Hello bigfixforum, could you please help me with some sample scripts with upload manager settings. I have done the archive manager part, but lacking the settings for upload manager. Please help.

This is what I have in my action script whic in the end upload the logs to upload manager.

and there is another fixlet we run which move the logs in the central location in upload mgr and curl put to our unx server.

here is another fixlet which move the logs…

action uses wow64 redirection {not x64 of operating system}

delete __createfile

// Create Powershell script
createfile until END_OF_FILE

Get-ChildItem -Path "{parameter "SearchPath"}" -Include {parameter "SearchFile"} -Recurse | Move-Item -Destination "{parameter "BackupPath"}"
.. need to put curl or invoke to put the logs in the unix host..wintel/bigfix master is going to update that.. I am not wintel/powershell expert
END_OF_FILE

delete BFPowershell.ps1
move __createfile BFPowershell.ps1
