Fixed In Version:
Doc Type:	Known Issue
Doc Text:	Presently, SmartState Analysis does not accept a wildcard character ("") for directory names, causing CloudForms to fail to collect the specified file(s). To work around this, specify the directory's full path without wildcard characters. For example, when attempting to collect all users' public SSH keys using the filename "/home//.ssh/id_rsa.pub" in an Analysis Profile will fail, however, specifying the path "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" succeeds. This known issue is an RFE for next release.

Description Shane Boulden 2016-06-09 23:44:55 EDT

Description of problem:
Cloudforms fails to collect files when a wildcard is specified in the directory. Eg; Attempting to collect all users' public SSH keys using the filename "/home/*/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" in an Analysis Profile will fail. However, specifying the path "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" will succeed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.5.3.4.20160407153134_b3e2a83 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit the default Analysis Profile to include a path with a wildcard (*) (eg; /home/*/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
2. Run a SmartState Analysis on a VM

Actual results:
Cloudforms fails to collect the specified file(s)

Expected results:
Cloudforms collects the file(s)

Comment 9 Josh Carter 2018-09-18 09:26:05 EDT

Dear customer, 

The CloudForms team is reviewing the current CloudForms RFE(Request for Enhancement) backlog in order to improve our responsiveness to customers. We are closing any requests for versions no longer within full support(link below to the lifecycle) or that do not have a clear spot on the product roadmap. We are committing to better management of the backlog as we move forward. If you have an RFE that you still have a strong business case for, please open a new BZ against the currently supported version 4.6.

Lifecycle page: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/cloudforms

If you have any concerns about this, please let us know.

Thanks and regards!”
