agjmills··on Grepping logs is terrible
The greatest thing that I've found recently was fluentd and elasticsearch - we have fluentd on all of our nodes that aggregate logs to a central fluentd search which dumps all of the data into elastic search, then we use kibana as a graphical frontend to elasticsearch

It took a while to get developers to use it, but now it's indispensable - particularly when someone asks me 'what happened to the 1000 emails I sent last month'

I now know, as previously, the data would have been logrotated
