Using kbox to find configurations

Is there an easy way to send a command to our servers to KACE and have the information reported back into the activity logs?  For example:

 cat /etc/yum.conf

I tried this command and it works, but of course the data I'm needing isn't in the activity logs.

-Thanks

Assuming the servers have an agent installed, you should be able to use a custom inventory rule for this.  Create a software inventory item for this and add this to the custom inventory field:

ShellCommandTextReturn(cat /etc/yum.conf)

Once the client system inventories, you should see the results under the Custom Inventory Field section.

You can also have KScripts upload files to the KBox. You could create a script that verifies the file exists and then uploads it to the server. The disadvantage here is that you can't report on the contents of the file.
