I've been exploring different logging options recently, papertrail, loggly, logevents and now splunk. Papertrail was definitely winning for simplicity but I felt the first three really fell short when trying to filter the returned information. I'm using scrolls to generate the logs so they're in key=value format. I've just tried splunk and it blows the others away for analysis. The big difference is in the way you can filter the information, it understands the key=value format and lets you search and then filter based on those. With the charting and dashboards I can build views that really allow me to see what's going on at a glance.
