I'd be curious to hear about an actual proposal if there are things
that could be improved. Saying that, after playing with this area in
the last couple of months to add support for the JSON format, the
design of the syslogger with its set of synced pipes to ensure the
ordering of the logs sent by the backends to the syslogger process
relies on many assumptions, and it may be hard to make things more
reliable without sacrificing performance. Aka, this can already
become a bottleneck with short logs and a rather high logging level
used and we don't want to make that worse.
