Not yet, indeed good idea.

IPA has many services writing to independent files.  Having these
logs collected in a central place seems to be a common desire.
For DNS syslog is used and can directly log to a remote location.

For the other services the best idea so far seems to be to have
a cronjob which uses rsync/ssh to centrally store the logs.

This can be implemented without much further thought.
If logrotate is used on the IPA servers, but also longer logs
should be kept on the central server, further thoughts would
be needed here..


Thats the only relevant thing coming to mind for the topic.
