[Go-essp-tech] [esg-gateway-dev] [esg-node-dev] Re: Upcoming gateway/datanode coordination points

[Gavin M. Bell]

Hi Don,

I responded that they would need to install the node using the script to
have a working model of the node.  The installation would install will
install and setup the key pieces on the node side of the equation,
namely the access logging table and the filter in front of the TDS.  As
for the ability to fetch the access log data, I have provided the
complete client side tool for making this happen.  Please let me know
specifically what further assistance is needed, as far as I know
everything is a go.
