I parse my team's nginx logs with a script even though they aren't in JSON. I'm fine with it and other people can do as they like. I also do all my application logging as just vanilla logs, and I use grep & less like the cretin I am, plus a tiny bit of bash for helping with gzip and so on. If you want to go log-crazy with a big elaborate deal and the whole ELK thing and so forth and so on, by all means, if you can afford it - which means afford to see it all the way through. Too many times I've had to deal with teams where everybody says, "Yeah... It would be nice to have logs...." because someone built the Big Elaborate Thing and nobody can figure it out, find it, etc. etc. It becomes a long-term "would be" instead of "is".
