This may be backwards from the usual flow of data from Endpoint - we’re looking to pull logs from remote computers and save them locally - with a unique file name (probably computer name + regular file name). Is this possible to do? I know I could do an analysis with "lines from file “”, but I think they are looking for something in a fixlet action script to save the file directly to the Bigfix server. Thanks for your assistance!
You can use Upload and Archive Manager!
Just make a fixlet with:
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_MaxArchiveSize"="2097152" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_OperatingMode"="2" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
setting "_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-MyLogs"="C:\PathTo\Logs\*.*" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client
archive now
This will upload any files in the C:\PathTo\Logs directory to the uploadmanagerdata folder on your bigfix server.
UploadManagerData\(Last 2 digits of computer ID)\(Computer ID)

I did some testing with your fixlet code and it worked like a charm. Lots of times the manuals will have definitions of what something is, but does not show any practical application examples of how to implement them. Thanks for the quick reply.
