RE: [evlog-dev] remote logging with evlogrmtd

Hi Hien,

Does the host node need to know the architecture of the remote consolidator
node after it supports the "cross-arch remote event logging"? Otherwise can
we say that the binary file /var/evlog/eventlog will be the same format
among all the architectures, and can just be copyed to a different arch
machine and viewed by evlview?

Thanks,
-Zhu Yi
