Logs centralization points can be built using the `systemd-journald` methodologies, by configuring `systemd-journal-remote` (on the centralization point) and `systemd-journal-upload` (on the production system).

The logs centralization points and the metrics centralization points do not need to be the same. For clarity and simplicity however, when not otherwise required for operational or regulatory reasons, we recommend to have unified centralization points for both metrics and logs.
