  • receiving, by a processing device of a log master server machine, log files from disparate remote system machines separate from 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 disparate remote system machines and determine whether to ignore the missing log files;

    in response to determining to ignore the missing log files, 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 disparate remote system machines;

    identifying, by the processing device of the log master server machine, log files of the received log files, wherein the identified log files satisfy grouping requirements that comprise at least a source of the log files or a time of creation of the log files;

    combining, by the processing device of the log master server machine, the identified log files that satisfy the grouping requirements into a single combined log file;

    deleting the identified log files from the shared storage after combining the identified log files into the single combined log file;

    compressing, by the processing device of the log master server machine, the single combined log file; and
