Logger Server
What do you think of a "logger server". A server that requires a very lightweight client, that then would handle propagating the logs to each of the configured transports.
This way, instead of installing a large selection of heavyweight clients with every service, we can utilize one, universal, small, simple client.

This is non trivial though.
In the simplest case, we can accomplish it by creating a service that accepts requests and utilizes the heavyweight logtron client configured to log those requests with some modifications. That service becomes the logger server.
@lxe now what happens when that server goes down.
You've introduced a new single point of failure, how do you plan to deal with it.

That is why I think it should be an included module, not a separate service. Config can describe its behavior, including timeout/fallback to a local file as last resort.
