Hi, all.

syslog_aggregator is taken away from cf-release since v192, you can see
docs being updated [1] (here is a diff [2]). In the latest version of CF
all component are equipped with metron agent that can stream logs as syslog
to endpoint that you set in configuration [3]. The only thing you need
specify in this case is `syslog_daemon_config` properties with address,
port and protocol. This means that any logs monitor (both logstash and
rsyslog) can use it. This approach requires having optional `syslog`
relation for every CF component (I've wrote question about it already in
this group [4]).

Benjamin, regarding the fact syslog_aggregator is moved from cf-release, do
you think it is actual task for me to investigate how it can be added to
the charms.


Best luck,
Alex L.
