The invention relates to a pipeline design, and particularly relates to a distributed log acquisition pipeline design acting on a cloud computing data center. The technical scheme is that the system is composed of multiple log acquisition instances. Multiple log acquisition plug-ins are operated in each log acquisition instance. Log acquisition in each instance acts as one process of an operating system to operate. Log parameters on different network devices are configured according to user requirements. Log information is sent to the log acquisition instances, and the log data information is stored in a log storage cluster in a concentrated way by the log acquisition instances. The beneficial effects are that a contradiction between diversity in modes of network device log acquisition in cloud computing and unification in the modes of log receiving of a storage server in the log cluster is solved.
