Claim 6:
7. A system, comprising:
a shared storage device; and
a log master server machine comprising a processing device operatively coupled to the shared storage device, the processing device to:
receive, by the log master server machine, log files from one or more disparate remote system machines separate from the log master server machine, authorized by the log master server machine, wherein to receive comprises:
validate environments of the one or more disparate remote system machines;
determine directory existence on the one or more disparate remote system machines;
determine log file existence on the one or more disparate remote system machines; and
determine available space in shared storage of the log master server machine;

execute error checking code to identify missing log files of the received log files from the disparate remote system machines and determine whether to ignore the missing log files, wherein to execute the error checking code on the log master server machine is further to perform a check that all received log files originate from the one or more disparate remote system machines;
in response to determining to ignore the missing log files, generating, using the error checking code, a notification that the missing log files have been ignored;
store the received log files on shared storage of the log master server machine, wherein the received log files on the shared storage are accessible to the log master server machine and the one or more disparate remote system machines; and
combine the received log files in the shared storage in view of one or more groups assigned to the one or more disparate remote system machines, wherein the one or more groups comprise:
a type of data produced by the one or more disparate remote system machines,
a department with which the log files are associated, and
a service producing the log files.
