How to fetch logs from diffrent servers using one command?

For example, suppose I want to fetch logs for same id in different servers. I have to go to each server and search for logs.

Is there any way to do it one go?

What logs? What ID? – jordanm Mar 18 at 15:08

Why do you need to do it in a single command? Isn't scp foo:/var/log/messages . && scp bar:/var/log/messages . enough? – l0b0 Mar 18 at 15:24

You could do it with a for loop in bash.

for SERVER in foo bar
do
mkdir -p $SERVER
scp $SERVER:/var/log/messages $SERVER/
done

Replace foo and bar with the names of your servers.
