Hi,
I am using the dp:tailog feature of dp buddy to get logs from the
datapower device with a followinterval set at less than a second.Would
this be a perfomance bottleneck on the datapower box? and is this
equivalent to writing debug logs on the datapower box to a NFS mount
in terms of performance.
Thank you!

Hello,
Each "get log" request is a fairly light-weight request through the device's SOMA interface. This is an XML over HTTPS request; the size of the response is relatively small.
It would create some load on the device; it's hard to say what would be the impact without some measurements. You can try to monitor CPU and system utilization while you're running dp:tailLog.
Enabling debug logging would have a different and probably more substantial effect. Unlike debug logging, "dp:tailLog" does not write anything to the disk on the device so it would probably be less noticeable.
Regards,
-Alexander
