Fixlet task shows status as Failed for one of the server

Fixlet task shows status as Failed for one of the server…Where Can i go and look for log to see why this error was occurred? Is there any specific location on IEM Server I can go and check logs?
Please advise

“Failed” is a status evaluated at the client.

A Fixlet (by default) evaluates to Success if the Relevance evaluates to “True” before running the Action, and evaluates to “False” after the Action is complete. The Fixlet Action changes the state of the system.

A Task (by default) evaluates to Success if all lines of the Action Script execute, although the system doesn’t generally change from one state to another (for instance, restarting a service, rebooting a system, etc.)

If this is a Fixlet that evaluates as Failed, you could try executing each of the Relevance Statements in the Fixlet Debugger in order to determine which detection is causing your Fixlet to still be Relevant.

For both Fixlet and Tasks, you can see some limited status by viewing the Action History from the console, but to get more details (such as the return codes from any Wait, Run, WaitHidden, or RunHidden commands), you’ll need to check the client logs. On Windows x64, you’d find those at C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BigFix Client\__BESData\__Global\Logs.

You need to put that path in a preformatted block by putting it on it’s own line and putting 4 spaces in front.

Indeed, I should read these after I post, Thanks.
