> A syslog server is a foundational tool for centralized log management in modern IT environments

I'd very much recommend a more modern log stack than a traditional syslog server.

There are many articles covering the limitations of Syslog. Better to replace that component by utilities like OpenTelemetry and JSON structured logging.

You can run a single binary version of Loki https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/get-started/deployment-...

Or use something like the Otel collector to send your logs to a remote host.

I have done my fair share of rsyslog and syslog-ng.

I would not say a "Syslog" server belongs in a modern stack.
