I've been experimenting with elasticsearch (to store JSON-format log 
messages) and kibana (as a front-end search tool).  The jury is still 
out on how well it's going to work.  It seems like a pretty powerful 
combination, but there's definitely a bit of a learning curve to using 
it.

I certainly like the idea of logging structured data, as opposed to 
plain text.  It opens up a world of better ways to search, slice, and 
dice your log data.
