I Don't Think Elasticsearch Is a Good Logging System
> Uber has not open sourced this work so we are unable to benchmark it and see how it performs
I implemented their design here, specifically for importing zeek logs:
https://github.com/JustinAzoff/zeek-clickhouse
I don't have the elastic compatible query api though, or the smarts that auto materialize popular columns.
It works though, does a good job at soaking up any sort of log type and handling fields being added or removed.

Fluent-Bit for Splunk
Syslog-ng can feed splunk directly via HEC without having to use heavy forwarders. Earlier you had to hand configure it via the http () destination, v4.2 added this via a separate destination driver. https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.2.0

Let's talk logs
Syslog-ng seems a bit weird about open/close source. They have a github but it seems like all the documentation is seemingly all over the place & it's not obvious to find what the limitations of open source version are.

I Don't Think Elasticsearch Is a Good Logging System
What we do internally is use [syslog-ng](https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng) to read the journald socket and push to a remote and into Kafka. I think journald works well as a structured logging tool, but it's certainly deficient in other ways
