Please consider an offline approach for those willing to take it on.

I can see the benefit of what you've outlined. I really want good representation of journals.

Yet, I'm likely to not start using netdata, because it seems to be 'always online' / dependent on something external. If things are bad enough where I'm looking at logs... maybe I don't have Internet access.

While we retain the data, we don't retain full control over the access to it. This is a pro for some, con for others.

Sure, in this situation, we can go look at the data directly, but that kind of nullifies the point of collection/presentation...

I dare say that most who have needs complicated enough to warrant log collection have auth infrastructure, tooling, or knowledge to manage

ok, can we discuss how you see this working for you? How do you believe you can provide SSO to all your Netdata agents?

Please open a discussion here: https://github.com/netdata/netdata/discussions

Even if this may be a niche need, I am open to create such a feature for those that need it, at a small price. But we need some specs.

I'll mull it over and follow up once I have something of more substance, thank you!
