I would like to pull one file from remote servers and copy it to the master cfengine server. Can this be done? I know it works to distribute files but is it possible to do it in the other way around?
Seems like this is a FAQ. Short answer: run cfservd on all the clients that you need to pull data from and write some code for cfagent to execute when running on the server (using standard copy actions). The downside to this is that your clients need to provide an extra service. Probably wise to restrict access with host-based firewalls. Make sure to distribute cfservd.conf files to the clients permitting access of the data to your server. Or do something more complicated out of band, such as a database connection or http request. Let me know if any of that was too terse or not clear.
