Do you ever worry that your logs exporting agent interferes with service performance? After all, that goes on continuously in a setup like the one in the article, rather than as-needed in a distributed predicate evaluation setup.

A constant stable performance drag is going to show up in your load tests, capacity planning, etc. rather than in surprising intermittent degradations.

Also our log collector agents run in containers like everything else, so there is some amount of resource isolation (not perfect of course).
