Log Collection Automation: Writing a Collector Script in 15 Minutes

Manual log collection is inefficient. Automation solves this.

🛠 Bash Script Example

```bash

!/bin/bash

LOG_DIR="/var/log" BACKUP_DIR="/backup/logs" DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d) tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/logs_$DATE.tar.gz" "$LOG_DIR" ```

🚀 Key Benefits

• Time Saving: Focus on analysis, not gathering.
• Consistency: No missed days.
• Safety: Backup before you purge.
