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 on a recurring schedule. 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
- Recurring collection schedule
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution for routine collection that should stay narrow. Each cycle picks up only the file type or naming pattern you defined, not the whole source folder.
Common use cases
- Sweep only error logs each night
- Collect dated report files every week
- Gather one export type on a repeating cycle
- Retrieve matching archives for ongoing audits
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
How do I collect matching files from multiple devices regularly?
Configure the matching rules and source devices, then set the recurring schedule.
Can newly created files be included in later collections?
Confirm how file discovery and matching criteria are evaluated on each run.
How do I troubleshoot files that are not collected?
Review matching rules, source paths, permissions, and collection logs.
