I like to know how others sorted the scenario I am facing.
I have a simple task that runs every day on a specific server , All I am looking is to find out the complete history of this task execution ( status, start & end time)
Currently I could see only the latest status and number of times it got executed , If I navigate to Actions and right click to choose “Show Action Info”
Is it possible to check the Complete status history
Thanks,
The BigFix database does not maintain the action details in question over time, but instead just keeps the most recent data (as you’ve observed).
In order to maintain action execution history over time, you’d either have to maintain this data on the endpoint (can easily output this via the action) and return it via an analysis/property, or possibly extract the data from the BigFix database on a periodic basis to an external database for reporting.
You can get this info from the BigFix client logs, but only for as many days as the logs go back.
I do recommend increasing the number of logs to 30 for all endpoints to keep a bit more historical data, particularly for troubleshooting.
