This is way off-base.
Speaking as an IT professional with decades of experiences in the field, servers do not have logs for "everything". They only record what's important, and generally only what is legally mandated for auditing and compliance (e.g. credit card processing servers, healthcare, etc.), security events like privileged users logging in, and system events like boot ups, hardware errors, and maybe some application-specific events. Recording everything would mean there would essentially be a duplicate of each server stored on itself, and that is not how it works at all.
It's possible to send logs to remote servers for log analysis but you will generally only find that in large corporate environments with thousands of servers (and not that often even then, in my experience), not in a non-tech environment like a casino with a handful of boxes managed by hand.
