Currently experimenting with logstash and Kibana on internal systems and very happy so far, no complaints with it.

Be warned though that logstash is not mature software, get on the mailing list and read the github page.

Now if only the rails logging system wasn't so tightly integrated and string-happy.

I'm pretty sure he's working on it fulltime as of a month ago or so.

Groovy, didn't know that. When I said "not mature" I just meant in terms of number of deployments and age of the code-base.

No knock against author intended.

You might underestimate the size of deployments of logstash. Mailchimp runs logstash in a pretty sizeable cluster for all traffic coming into HTTP front-ends. I can think of quite a few sizeable logstash installs that I can't mention.

whack (author of logstash) works at dreamhost now, and is indeed working on logstash full-time.

The kibana ui is, afaik, being ported to ruby atm.
