#Log Merging

Log merging is the process of combining the logs of several computers or operators into one file, as in multi-operator stations. A merge can create duplicates, clock offsets and conflicting entries if the stations were not synchronised. Articles under this tag explain the typical errors and the checks that find them. They also describe how to prepare the stations before the contest so that the merge is simple. The advice is general and applies to the usual networked loggers.
