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 at a scheduled time. 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
- Scheduled collection time
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution when a planned collection should bring back a defined subset only. A single file type or naming pattern is gathered instead of everything a source holds.
Common use cases
- Collect dated log files overnight
- Gather one report type at month end
- Pull matching exports after a nightly job
- Retrieve specific archives before an audit
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
How do I schedule collection of matching files from multiple devices?
Configure the supported matching rules, source devices, destination, and execution time.
When are matching files identified?
Check whether the product evaluates file selection rules when the schedule is created or when collection runs.
What should I check if no matching files are collected?
Verify the matching criteria, source paths, permissions, and schedule.
