The flexibility of Fluentd and the community around it are great, but ultimately the resource intensity proved to be too high and too unpredictable for our use case.

We ended up building our own general purpose log parser in Go to support our hosted log monitoring platform. Though it's still somewhat young, performance is great (beats Fluent Bit in most of our benchmarks), and it's nearly as flexible as Fluentd in terms of configuration. If you want to check it out, we recently open-sourced it and are always looking for more feedback: https://github.com/observIQ/stanza
