Ingest Logs from outside the Installation

[Rotfuks]

Motivation

We want our Observability Platform to be the central component for all data needs at least for the operations process at this point. For a lot of customers this operations process does not end at the boundaries of the installation. Often enough they rely and are dependent on resources from outside the installation like databases and so on. In order to connect the dots for a holistic view on data we need to enable customers to also get this relevant data ingested into the observability platform.
