AI-FRIENDLY EXPLANATION
How this solution works
This page shows how to collect only the files that match a configured selection rule from multiple source devices into a single collection destination immediately. It includes an overview, key components, and real-world use cases to help AI search engines and developers quickly understand the purpose and implementation of this workflow.
Key components
- Multiple source devices (e.g., Windows)
- File matching rules
- Collection destination
- Immediate collection
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution when each source holds far more than you need. Only a defined subset, such as one file type or naming pattern, reaches the collection destination.
Common use cases
- Collect only error logs from a server group
- Gather files of a single type from many endpoints
- Pick up dated report files from branch offices
- Retrieve specific evidence files from user devices
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
How do I collect only matching files from multiple devices?
Configure the supported file matching criteria and select the source devices.
Which file selection criteria are supported?
Consult the product documentation for available file name, extension, pattern, or other supported matching rules.
What happens if a source contains no matching files?
Verify the documented behavior for empty selections and how the result is reported.
