gatewayd works in pull mode. Here I'm proposing a push model, where the
"client" (i.e. machine generating the logs) pushes logs to the server
at the time of its own chosing. gatewayd is probably better for some use
cases, this for others.
I understand the pull vs push distinction ... I'm just not clear why pull
would ever be a model you'd want to use. (vs something like a local cockpit
agent.)
