Is there any sort of syslog agent for the machine to use that allows you to forward logs somewhere?

It appears they're located at /var/log still, but I can't find anything online mentioning how to poll them every so often. I did find these links -

What model/brand of Chromebook do you have? I found the same Dell link @rkennedy found, but wasn't sure if it would apply.

That said, if you're happy with us locking it up, I'm happy to lock it up. :)
