Build your own. It's crazy cheap to log things to a text file on a server. Use Spark to query from S3 and you're done.

You're really paying for the intuitive interface which you may not need.

That doesn't sound so nice as it would create an additional point of failure that I'll have to support.

I want to use a tried and tested, managed service whose uptime/maintenance is something that I don't have to worry about.
