probably not getting any Bonus points for pointing out that there are existing ami-images for setting up an Elastic-Stack(https://www.elastic.co), consisting of logstash (for sending out logfiles), elasticsearch (for collecting them centrally and making them searchable), and kibana (for visualising log-events). Integrating this into a ruby/rails-app is pretty straightforward, for rails there already exist log-adapters to properly json-format log-entries. We're also using this setup for sending out application-events we want to monitor (user logged in, purchase completed, item viewed etc.) - and then let logstash sort out where to put them. So apart from consolidating, this also comes in handy for splitting up logs into different buckets. Logstash had had its issues in the beginning, but has come a long way since Elastic has put it under its wings and now basically "just works"(tm).
There are also existing docker-images for the whole elastic-stack, right now we just throw logstash in with our application-container and have the elasticsearch-server run in another container. Works quite straightforward for us, reasonably easy to set-up, covers a wide range of scenarios, works for us, ok, now for half a bonus-point: There is also a hosted version called ElasticCloud (https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service), but it isn't exactly cheap and we haven't tested it...
