Yeah, agreed, if the logging agent (or whatever) isn't installed or running yet, it's going to be hard to get the logs into the centralized system.

That's also an argument for centralized logging. Don't store the logs anywhere near your production systems. We've all had the experience where a machine goes down because the disk is full.....due to log files.
