My question would be, why are you trying to keep them separate? Why not group them all together? People don't want to have to look all over the place to find what they want. They want it all in one place.

I've been using the ELK (elastic + logstash(1) + kibana)(2) stack for EZProxy log analysis. Yes, the index can grow really fast with log data, so I have to be selective about what I store. I'm not familiar with the Symphony log format, but Logstash has filters to handle just about any data that
