Jeremy, it is not pretty, but we run analytics on a bunch of log files. We format them as best we can in the producers, but some still need transformation. Our analytics software is able to read logs from files, or from a pipe. Thus we have commands (sed/awk) that do some final format changes just before analysis. If your stats package does not have similar functionality, you may be able to use cron or logrotate to run commands against the log files before analysis. We like to retain the original logs, the JIT approach is nice for us. Without JIT, you can instead retain separate logs (for archival and analysis) and remove one set after analysis.
