syslog-ng needs update to use syslog-ng-icubator (plugins; for example
to send directly from syslog-ng to elasticsearch).

I'm busy but I tried to update it

Latest diff was merged recently.

IMO it would be nice to have separate kibana without logstash.

elasticsearch has syslog plugin which acts as syslog server, so
you could send directly to elastricsearch from base syslogd ;)

elasticsearch needs more testing, imo plugins dir should maybe
be moved to /var/elasticsearch. i'm quite busy now.
