Yes, if each service of your supervision tree has a $service/log
service, you don't need anything global else.
Void Linux goes a different way and uses a global syslog (socklog-unix
or rsyslog) to provide classical unified log files and to support
legacy apps using syslog(3). In this setup, $service/log is used to
push the logs into local syslog.
