Run glusterfs server on central storage node. with the following spec file volume storage type storage/posix option directory <export-directory> end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type <tcp-or-ibverbs> option auth.addr.storage.allow <ipaddress-or-username> subvolumes storage end-volume On the machines where your log files are updated, mount glusterfs using the following spec: volume client type protoco/client option remote-host <ipaddress> option remote-subvolume storage end-volume volume local-storage type storage/posix option directory <local-directory> end-volume volume afr type cluster/afr subvolumes local-storage client end-volume And point your logging process to log on mounted directory.
