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, and run follow-up actions after each collection completes. 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
- Matching files on multiple source devices
- Collection destination
- Recurring collection schedule
- Follow-up actions (after collection)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution for a standing, filtered collection routine that feeds downstream work. Selection rules, recurrence, and post-collection tasks are configured together as one workflow.
Common use cases
- Sweep nightly error logs and alert on findings
- Collect weekly exports and load them downstream
- Gather matching audit files and notify reviewers
- Pull selected backups each cycle and verify them
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
How do I automate recurring matching-file collection with follow-up actions?
Configure matching rules, source devices, recurrence, and supported follow-up actions.
What happens if one source has no matching files?
Verify how empty results affect that source and the overall workflow.
How do I verify each collection cycle?
Review collection history, source-level results, and action execution status.
