Hi Randy, You can actually do a lot with Fabric. I hacked a quick script to download gemfire logs, stats, thread dumps and zip them up from any cluster I want (dev,sit, uat). Beauty of it is that you only need to install it in you local machine (in my case my Linux VM) and it uses ssh under the hood. You can also add any python goodness to your script and control your cluster with a simple command.
