collecting first data associated with a vehicle at a first frequency;
collecting second data associated with the vehicle at a second frequency greater than the first frequency, wherein a size of the second data is greater than a size of the first data;
determining, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, whether a vehicle event associated with the vehicle is occurring, wherein the vehicle event relates to an operational state of one or more electrical control units onboard the vehicle;
based on a determination of an occurrence of the vehicle event, identifying, by the ECU, a relevant portion of the second data that corresponds to a time range associated with the vehicle event, wherein the relevant portion of the second data comprises a least amount of high fidelity log data to generate vehicle diagnostic information associated with the vehicle event, wherein:
the time range comprises a first amount of time prior to the vehicle event and a second amount of time after the vehicle event, and
the first amount of time and the second amount of time are determined based on the vehicle event;
providing at least a portion of the first data and the relevant portion of the second data for transmission to an electronic device to cause evaluation of the vehicle diagnostic information and generation of a repair plan associated with the vehicle event;
receiving, by the ECU of the vehicle, the repair plan from the electronic device; and
