Abstract

Aspects of the technology provide methods for aggregating error log data between multiple devices in a network monitoring appliance. A method of the technology can include steps for identifying a plurality of operators running in a network monitoring appliance, instantiating a plurality of sensors, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is associated with a respective one of the plurality of operators, and wherein each sensor is configured to capture error log data of its corresponding operator. In some aspects, the method can further include steps for aggregating error log data from two or more of the plurality of sensors. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
