Well, what gets me (and still does I think) is the utter inability
to guess which logfiles get processed for which services and which
lines from the logfiles are selected as "belonging" to some service.
Nothing in the docs gave me any idea of the overall top down
flow of log processing.



That's true enough... I suppose I "lucked out" because I just want "messages" which is conveniently pre-configured to mean /var/log/messages, and /var/log/messages has the messages I'm interested in because the app I'm interested in uses a basic logger -t <servicename> command to write there.

It also seems there are more directories for the scripts and config files than necessary... when a directory contains only another directory, it makes me wonder: Do we really need this other level?
