Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processing device of a 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 the receiving comprises:
validating environments of the one or more disparate remote system machines;
determining directory existence on the one or more disparate remote system machines;
determining log file existence on the one or more disparate remote system machines; and
determining available space in shared storage of the log master server machine;
executing, by the processing device, error checking code to identify missing log files of the received log files from the one or more disparate remote system machines and determine whether to ignore the missing log files, wherein executing the error checking code comprises performing 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;
storing, by the processing device, 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
combining, by the processing device, 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.
