- would probably help to add “component:” or “role:” property to ease
correlation with the given component
- are the paths in HDFS or do they reference an exposed endpoint that allows
for the download of the logs (e.g.
http://host:port/ws/v1/slider/diagnostics/someLogName)?

Perhaps a root resource that lists the information for the cluster is where
you’d start: /ws/v1/slider/diagnostics. Individual entries (with perhaps more
detail) could be retrieved as /ws/v1/slider/diagnostics/container_id (these
hrefs should probably be available as properties in the root resource)
