Either client and server are the same, so yes, you can run it client
side. Either they are not on the same machine, and you'll have to log on
the server to access the server-side logs anyways. Unless you are
suggesting sending the server logs to the client, in which case I missed
it in your suggestion.

Which is roughly what I suggested when I mentioned a gdb script (though
you can probably also directly modify the relevant categories rather than
having a dedicated function)
