Abstract: Apparatus and computer program product including program instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations. The operations may include detecting a system failure in a host node, wherein the host node locally stores log files during operation of the host node. The operations may further include receiving a request for failure event log data stored by the host node, and identifying an amount of available storage capacity of a designated remote data storage device, prioritizing data from the log files to be included in the failure event log data, and selecting a subset of the failure event log data in order of descending priority until the total amount of the selected data would substantially fill the remote data storage device. Still further, the operations may include transferring, in response to receiving the request, the selected subset of the data to the designated remote data storage device.
