/**
 * syslog-server — EC2 collector that receives remote syslog (UDP/TCP 514) from
 * the office UniFi fleet over the EIP and ships it to the `unifi-syslog`
 * CloudWatch Logs group via the CloudWatch agent.
 *
 * Brought under IaC for INFRA-12 (AWS audit L-6). Recreated to mirror the
 * file-share/forgejo CDK pattern; the existing EIP (184.72.154.32) is imported
 * by allocation ID and re-associated so the forwarding target is unchanged.
 *
 * The `unifi-syslog` log group is intentionally NOT a CloudFormation resource:
 * it holds 90 days of history and is created/retained by the CloudWatch agent
 * per the user-data config below (log_group_name + retention_in_days). Managing
 * it as a CFN resource would either collide with the live group on create or
 * risk deleting the history on a future replacement. The agent owns it; this
 * stack owns the instance that runs the agent.
