There are several tools in Web Polygraph to extract data from binary
logs:

* polygraph-lx - extracts aggregated phase stats.  It prints a lot of
  data.  You may extract stats for certain phases and objects, see
  manual page or --help.

* polygraph-ltrace - extracts trace stats.  This is the data which is
  used for plots in the reporter.  You need to specify a list of objects
  to extract the stats for, e.g.:

    $ polygraph-ltrace --objects rep.size log

  Unfortunately, the list of objects is not documented.  Not every
  object output by polygraph-lx are traceable

* polygraph-lr - extract console output.

I am not sure I understood you question.  It is possible to use any
system for Polygraph tests, as long as you can configure the network
connectivity.  I do not know if using an Amazon instance would work for
you.  The problem might be to get the desired load.  That depends on
your Internet connection and may be out of control.  Running the test
entirely in the Amazon (or other) cloud may yield better results.
