Dedicated service logging
A dedicated service logger only logs the output coming from a single daemon. Dedicated logging is nice because diagnostic data for different services is distributed across separate log files. The monolithic log files generated by centralized system loggers such as syslogd are often hard to untangle. Both forms of logging have their purpose: dedicated logging excels at readability and centralized logging offers context. Your services can each have their own dedicated loggers and still write to syslog so you sacrifice neither.
