Systems and methods for monitoring network activity. The methods include receiving at an interface a first logging parameter for a first network device, wherein the first logging parameter specifies how the first network device is to record data associated with the first network device; communicating the first logging parameter to the first network device; and indicating to the first network device a first network-accessible location to where the first network device is to transmit its recorded data, wherein the first network device is configured to record data in accord with the first logging parameter and transmit the recorded data to the first network-accessible location.
