Abstract
The systems and methods of the present solution are directed to collecting log information from multiple nodes in a multi-nodal cluster. Generally, a logging process runs to collect log information from multiple nodes in a multi-nodal cluster, e.g., a cluster of appliances. The logging process collects the log information and merges the collected log information to create a coherent unified log. The logging process may run on a node designated for the purpose. The designated node may be internal or external to the cluster. The logging process determines a topology for the cluster, establishes a communication channel with each active intermediary device identified in the topology, collects log entries from each active intermediary device, each log entry comprising information on network traffic traversing the respective intermediary device, and merges the collected log entries into a unified cluster log comprising information on network traffic traversing the cluster.
