1. A computing device/Data Processing Unit (DPU) log collection system, comprising:
a computing device chassis;
a computing device log generation subsystem that is included in the computing device chassis; and
a Data Processing Unit (DPU) device that is included in the computing device chassis, that is coupled to the computing device log generation subsystem via at least one computing device log generation subsystem physical connection, and that is configured to:
emulate a physical storage device to provide an emulated storage device that is presented to the computing device log generation subsystem as a local storage device that is coupled to the at least one computing device log generation subsystem physical connection;
configure the emulated storage device with a computing device log storage file system;
receive, from the computing device log generation subsystem via the computing device log storage file system in the emulated storage device, computing device logs;
perform log collection operations that include identifying a subset of the computing device logs that were received from the computing device log generation subsystem via the computing device log storage file system in the emulated storage device; and
transmit, to a log storage system via a network, the subset of the computing device logs.
