[Planetlab-users] Collecting log-files

[Sven Westergren]

Hi all,

I have some very large logfiles I need to collect from approximately 200 
nodes on planet-lab, and I'm pondering how I should go about this.

The way I see it I have two options:
A: process the logfiles locally on each planetlab-node (run it through a 
grep+sed-script) such that the amount of data transmitted is minimized
B: collect the raw logfiles and process them on my own machine, thereby 
limiting the cpu-load induced on the planet-lab nodes.

Which way would you consider the most polite to the planetlab-community?

best regards
Sven Westergren
