Hi Ben, 

Could we Hangout tomorrow 9 AM PT? It will be much faster than these threads.

Yeap, wrong link. -> https://groups.google.com/a/cloudfoundry.org/forum/#!topic/vcap-dev/FE_w5xDG-dg

Firehosse sounds a little scary as it includes both the CF internal logs and the DEA level logs which we wouldn't normally want to combine and share outside of CF admins. Still a properly configured log filtering package could deal with that.

When we add support for 192+ (and there is work ongoing to help resolve our issues with bosh packages exports that have prevented us from tracking releases) we can revisit #1.

I dig into loggregator source code, and the only way that I find out how to obtain all application logs, was to listen to "firehose" websocket endpoint. The problem here is that accordingly to this thread https://groups.google.com/a/cloudfoundry.org/forum/#!topic/vcap-dev/FE_w5xDG-dg "firehose" feature would be only added in 192 cf release. So now I don't know how to continue work on this task, I see the following options:
