Display the amagent.log in the Activity Log for Linux and macOS

Worklet: Display amagent.log contents in Activity Log for Linux and macOS

The following Worklet provides for three possible outputs to the Activity log from the local amagent.log

Requirements:

• macOS or Linux device
• Automox Agent 35+

Create a new Worklet, see Creating a Worklet

Evaluation Code:

exit 1

Remediation Code for the entire log:

#Entire log
echo "$(</var/log/amagent/amagent.log)"

Remediation Code for the most recent 100 lines:

#Last 100 lines
touch temp-log.log
tail -100 /var/log/amagent/amagent.log >> temp-log.log
echo "$(<temp-log.log)"

Altering the number after tail will allow for other numbers of lines to be chosen.  Example: 20 lines would be tail -20 /var/log/amagent/amagent.log >> temp-log.log

Remediation Code for starting from a specific date:

#Logs from a specific date
touch temp-log.log
cat /var/log/amagent/amagent.log | grep 2022/06/02 >> temp-log.log
echo "$(<temp-log.log)"

Altering the date after grep will choose the starting date.
Example for October 9th is:

cat /var/log/amagent/amagent.log | grep 2022/10/09 >> temp-log.log
