Abstract
A system includes a first device that runs an archiving master program. The first device includes available storage for use by the archiving master program. A second device runs a computer program that generates log files for storage on the second device. The second device runs an archiving slave program. The archiving slave program sends the log files to the archiving master program. The archiving master program receives the log files from the archiving slave program and stores the log files in the available storage.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first device that runs an archiving master program, the first device comprising available storage for use by the archiving master program;
- and
- a second device that runs a computer program that generates log files to store on the second device, the second device running an archiving slave program, the archiving slave program sending the log files to the archiving master program;
- wherein the archiving master program receives the log files from the archiving slave program and stores the log files in the available storage.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier to preserve a log file generated by a copy of a computer program on a network device, the computer program product causing the network device to:
- obtain an identifier;
- receive an indication that the copy of the computer program is terminated;
- and
- send the identifier and the log file to an archiving master program after receipt of the indication that the copy of the computer program is terminated.
A method for use in a distributed computing system that includes a network device that executes an archiving slave program, the archiving slave program performing the method to preserve a log file generated by a copy of a computer program on the network device, the method comprising:
- obtaining an identifier;
- receiving an indication that the copy of the computer program is terminated;
- and
- sending the identifier and the log file to an archiving master program after receipt of the indication that the copy of the computer program is terminated.
