Since you say RDO has a similar setup, could they just expand to
start indexing our logs? As previously stated, doing that doesn't
require any special access to our infrastructure.

Reducing how much we index doesn't solve the most pressing problem,
which is that we need to upgrade the underlying operating system,
therefore replace the current current configuration management which
won't work on newer platforms, and also almost certainly upgrade
versions of the major components in use for it. Nobody has time to
do that, at least nobody who has heard our previous cries for help.

This thread hasn't set any timeline for stopping the service, not
yet anyway.

It's been pointed out that OVH has a similar-sounding service, if
someone is interested in experimenting with it:

https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ca/data-platforms/logs/

The case with this, and I think with any SaaS solution, is that
there would still need to be a separate ingestion mechanism to
identify when new logs are available, postprocess them to remove
debug lines, and then feed them to the indexing service at the
provider... something our current team doesn't have time to design
and manage.
