Dear Team,
I want to pull files(like .Zip) from all the endpoints to IBM Bigfix root server, In my environment in all the clients periodically one zip file is created like Logfiles.zip on “c:\temp\Logfiles.zip” So i need to copy/move this file to our IBM Bigfix root server “D:\Logs”
Kindly share your inputs on this and i tried upload manager method but its pull the file into local BES client folder on endpoints only.
Mr. @BenKus Please help me on this
Regards
Vicky
Upload Manager should be the way. What do you mean by " i tried upload manager method but its pull the file into local BES client folder on endpoints only" ?
@fermt means the requiered Logfiles.zip is upload on the client machine upload directory
“C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client__BESData__Global\Upload\sha1”
But from IBM Bigfix root server cant find the folder which is upload from endpoints(clients)
The Files should be uploaded to the root server, unless the size is bigger than the default allowed size.
could you show us what have you tried?
Hi @fermt
This is the action script i push into my client system
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-(Zip) = D:\Logfile
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-(Zip) = D:\Temp*.Zip
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode = 2
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_Interval_Seconds = 3600
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_SendAll = 0
_BESClient_ArchiveManager_MaxArchiveSize = 40000000 (40MB
After this i get a sha1 value folder on following location "“C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client_BESData_Global\Upload\sha1”
and Zip files size is 21 MB only and where i can found the uploaded file on root server.
After that, you should use the command archive:
archive now
So the files are uploaded to the root server.
Hi @fermt
in end of the action script line or where?
If possible share the sample action script here…
This is an example to upload BES Relay Log:
parameter "UploadFile"="{pathname of file ((value of setting "_BESRelay_HTTPServer_LogFilePath" of client) | (if (windows of operating system) then ((value "EnterpriseServerFolder" of key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\BigFix\Enterprise Server" of registry) as string & "logfile.txt") else ("/var/log/BESRelay.log")))}"
// set max size to 10485760 to prevent too much data. If the zip file is to bigger than 10MBs the upload won't occur
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_MaxArchiveSize"="10485760" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode"="2" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
// set the entire bfdmp dir to upload
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-relaylog"="{parameter "UploadFile"}" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
// send results
archive nowDear @fermt
Thanks for your help, In IBM Bigfix server where i can see the uploaded files from endpoints.
Please share the Path
Take a look into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\UploadManagerData\BufferDir\sha1\XX\nnnnnnnnnn
(where nnnnnnnnnn is the computer ID of the BES Client and XX can vary)
Were you able to do this work?
XX is either the first two or last two digits of the client ID (I don’t recall which)
Dear @fermt
I face this error on client log

I think the size of the file e17b4792c1df05b26db4d3202b4437eba37808ff(62735405) exceeds the size of the parameter BESClientArchiveManager_MaxArchiveSize = 40000000
