Since this is an OTel-related submission, you could also use OTel collectors to collect and forward logs to a central OTel collector instance.

I work for Netdata and over the last couple months, we've developed an external Netdata plugin that can ingest/index OTel logs [1]. The current implementation stores logs in systemd-compatible journal files and our visualization is effectively the same one someone would get when querying systemd journal logs [2]. i > Like… has anyone done a Jepsen-like stress test on rsyslogd and shared the results? I’ve half-assedly looked before and not been able to find anything.

I've not used rsyslogd specifically, but I don't see how you'd have any issues with the log volume you described.
