Searching actions

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

I can create a search filter on Fixlets or Tasks and be able to search on any criteria (relevance, action, etc).

Searching on actions is very limited. I can only search on comments, issued by, name, site and state.

I’d like to ask that you include the relevance, action, start date and end date. For instance, I’d like to search on actions that I deployed last month that contains a certain action performed.

I agree, it would be nice to have this in the console. Here’s some web report / presentation debugger relevance that will allow you to perform similar queries in the meantime:

(name of it, name of issuer of it, time issued of it, expiration time of it as string | “”) of bes actions whose (action script of it as uppercase contains “psexec” as string as uppercase)

Im trying this for a need I have and edited it as below:

(bes action status of it as string, name of it, name of issuer of it, time issued of it) of bes actions whose (name of issuer of it as uppercase contains “username” as string as uppercase)

However, the first peice is not working. It is stating that ‘bes action status’ cannot be defined, though it is in the inspector language library. It works fine when I drop ‘bes action status of it as string’, but I need this information.

Thoughts?

bes action status is a type, and is not a property of of bes action (though it is a property of bes action results). Maybe what you’re really looking for is state?

(state of it, name of it, name of issuer of it, time issued of it) of bes actions whose (name of issuer of it as uppercase contains “username” as string as uppercase)

Yeah, Boyd… I worked with that, but it doesnt give me the data I want. I gives ‘Open’ ‘Expired’. I am looking for the bes action status details (fixed, completed, failed, waiting, etc).

Well, this will return the status of each action result:

((statuses of results of it) as string, name of it, name of issuer of it, time issued of it) of bes actions whose (name of issuer of it as uppercase contains “username” as string as uppercase)

I placed this in the presentation debugger to test, but it isnt returning anything. Thoughts?

EDIT: Disregard. I found the issue. Thanks for the help.
