You'd have to talk to the smolt developers about that. But my sense is that that is an abuse of smolt and it should be avoided. I don't think smolt was built nor advertised to track administrative actions. I'm more than happy to analyze logs on mirror servers if admins agree to run scripts against the logs. I'll even write the scripts. I'm burning a few cycles now putting a framework in place for us to do more analysis with our mirrormanager logs. But I'm really not keen on turning smolt into an advanced phonehome keylogger just so we can do marginally better trending. Doing that will hurt smolt's adoption as a hardware profiler. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
