Tonight's presentation:

Bio: Rashid is a data geek, a developer and a recovering operations
addict.  He's currently a developer at Elasticsearch. However, he spent 
the last 10 years in operations writing tools to make his life
easier. Every now and then one of those tools is useful enough that he 
should publish it.

Kibana is the thing he wrote to get around the fact that he couldn't
afford exorbitantly expensive commercial log analysis. he originally 
wrote it to work with a fantastic log pipeline called Logstash, which 
stores events in Elasticsearch.

Abstract: Rashid will talk about patterns for log shipping, the problems 
in traditional centralized log storage, as well as issues with syslog 
shipping overall. We'll explore the options in the open source space, 
and define a stack that can be gradually merged into a legacy syslog 
network, with further optimizations as we later spin down the legacy 
redundant logging infrastructure.
