One company had a syslog server that was purported to be collecting logs from production systems. This was an environment where there was so much work to do that I relegated the system to the back burner. Eventually I realized that I needed to address the problem when I found a system that was in a failed state and no one seemed to know what it did at all. I tagged a note to the front of the server in an envelope and walked back to my office. Not two days later an irate application team lead stormed into my office with his hair on fire.”]
