Remember SYSLOG is essentially passive. It's just a message format
(with severity codes, timestamps, etc.) and a receiving server. The
server can have additional features like mirroring, switching files
when full, etc. But SYSLOG is receive-only.

RADIUS, TACACS, and other management systems are usually read/write
between the manager/object or client/server, and then write-only to
SYSLOG.
