Fluentd

Fluentd collects logs from various sources and forwards them to third-party storage systems or to other FluentD instances.

A plethora of plugins exist for making Fluentd work with third-party software like Redis, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, Apache Cassandra, Apache Solr, MySQL, Kestrel, PostgreSQL, IRC, CouchDB, MongoDB, Growl, AMQP, UDP, etc..

Fluentd is a fire-tested utility, being used in live production environments by companies like Nintendo, Slideshare, Amazon, GREE, PPTV and many other more.
