Centralized Syslog (remote and local hosts) (alien.top)

I want to centrally log messages for both internal and remote servers. I was looking at Loki at one point, as it seems to be a good option due to space savings. They also have a generous cloud option to get started and test it out.

Anyone have a setup that you have been using for a while that works really well?
I want to start getting CheckMK and Grafana up eventually along with it.

Im sure there are fancy solutions with data visualization and whatnot, but syslog has an out of box solution shipped with most distros: rsyslog

You can config a designated (or more) server(s) to receive your syslog entries.
