Inviting ideas.

Has anyone tried to quantify log-loss (#number of lines lost per day
per sender etc) for a log-store?

Let us consider the following setup:
- An environment has several application nodes. Each app node
hands-over its logs to local Rsyslog daemon(let us call it Ra,
Rsyslog-application).
- The environment has one or more Rsyslog receiver nodes (let us call
it Rr, Rsyslog-receiver).
- Rr(s) write received logs to a log-store.

The problem statement is: Quantify log-loss(defined as messages that
are successfully handed over to Ra, but can't be found in log-store)
in log-events lost per day per host.

Log-events may be lost because of any reason (in the pipe, or after
being written to log-store). It doesn't matter which of the
intermediate systems lost logs, as long as loss is bounded (by any
empirical figure, say less than 0.1%).
