That method's a little unwieldy if you have large numbers of clients. How large can a variable get? I personally have over 2200 machines being managed by cfengine, and if I were to use that recipe, I'd have a 24 kilobyte variable just to hold the names of all the machines. I also have machines coming and going on an almost daily basis, so I'd have to do something clever to populate that list from an external module. Personally, I do log aggregation with a completely separate tool, better suited for the job (Splunk, in our case). I use cfengine to configure rsyslog on all of the clients to tell them where the Splunk server is.
