Auditd_2.8-amd64.deb is 194kb on debian, rsyslog_8.32-amd64 is 411kb, and they both support centralized auditing and log collection from multiple hosts.

Do they do the metrics like Prometheus does? And include the central collector and basic graph builder?

This doesn't seem a fair comparison. Prometheus is statically linked like all Go applications, and those packages are not. You can debate the merits of that, but if you compare a "only rsyslog" server vs a "only prometheus" server the 2 will be much closer in size.

Even journalctl is only 90kb, and the entire combined systemd package is 4mb (but that's including all the documentation and a dozen other different binaries)
