Between getting sick on Friday and becoming fire marshall bill last week... 
I haven't had any time to work on this.  The biggest issue is that I'm not 
at all familiar with logstash, so I need to figure out the filtering stuff. 
I still believe the idea is sound;  its just a matter of time.  I'm most 
likely going to shelf the reindex portion of our upgrade for the time being 
and circle back to that when I have a little more time. I'll hit you up 
with details when I have some though.
