An interesting approach, especially the hybrid python + perl bundling. Embrace the 'you can't please everyone, all of the time' mantra.

At work we're using a combination of Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Grafana Loki (can really recommend the latter combined with promtail).

There's some curious artefacts in this repo - the systemd service file calling usr/bin/env to a $PYTHON_EXECUTABLE (set in the env file to /usr/bin/python3) but the python script being called starts with '#!/usr/bin/env python' (which on my Debian unstable system launches python2).

Throwing executables under /etc/ is a .. contentious manoeuvre.

And the - so far as I can see - lack of support for handling journald output I suppose is a reflection of this sentiment:

> There’s endless criticism of systemd in the Linux community and I expect it will be properly superseded in the next few years. [...] It’s a curiously un-robust system.
