Yes, you can use.

Run glusterfs server on central storage node. with the following spec file

volume storage
    type storage/posix
    option directory <export-directory>
end-volume

volume server
    type protocol/server
    option transport-type <tcp-or-ibverbs>
    option auth.addr.storage.allow <ipaddress-or-username>
    subvolumes storage
end-volume

On the machines where your log files are updated, mount glusterfs using the
following spec:

volume client
    type protoco/client
    option remote-host <ipaddress>
    option remote-subvolume storage
end-volume

volume local-storage
     type  storage/posix
     option directory <local-directory>
end-volume

volume afr
     type cluster/afr
     subvolumes local-storage client
end-volume

And point your logging process to log on mounted directory.

Thanks.
