No, I haven't yet, though I have heard the name here and there. I'm not going to be looking at logs again for a few months, but thanks for the pointer.

Then remember about Fluentd. I was using it for filling ElasticSearch with
logs when Kibana was still written in PHP by a separate developer and was
meant as a somewhat specialized frontend for logstash, not a generic one for
ElasticSearch. I'm using it still for shipping logs (again to ElasticSearch)
and metrics collected by monitoring, and I have even built a proof-of-concept
of a stream processing engine for monitoring out of it.
You could go really far with Fluentd using or writing only few plugins.
