Deprecated. This tool still works but gets no new features; plan to move off it. Use Fleet Telemetry Service instead.
Purpose#
A nightly job that pulls rotated log files from each board over SSH and stores them on a shared drive. It still runs on the older lab boards, but new work should use the Fleet Telemetry Service.
