'tooling gets deleted' could easily happen after changing logging systems... while it would be shortsighted to uninstall your old logging system entirely (if you have logs laying around in that format) it's not unheard of.
The more likely situation would be that the logs are stored on a shared storage server, and the machine you are using to look at the logs doesn't have the logging system installed.

So expose the shared storage to a system running any current mainstream Linux distribution. I understand what you're saying, but this still doesn't seems like a huge concern.
... We were talking about logging systems with proprietary tools for manipulating logs. Ergo, 'any current mainstream Linux distribution' wouldn't have them installed by default.
