SP logging to syslog can not set syslogHost

My preferred approach for pulling logs together across nodes is rsyslog best-effort over tcp as a secondary logging mechanism to a local on-disk something.  That gives you a higher probability of capturing interesting events no matter when or where they happen or what is done to the node subsequently, without introducing a centralized single point of failure.

My suggestion to anybody trying to use syslog would be to just run
something like minion to tail the log and remote the entries that way. I
would be leery in the extreme of tying the SP to a remote logging source.

But if somebody else has made it work, they're welcome to comment.
