I agree with Will on his reasoning for using Kiwi. Kiwi also gives you a good amount of flexibility with what you can do with the data being received.. Not just flat file storage, but potentially putting it into a database for potential future reporting/searchability. Acting as a forwarding device to send the information on to other systems for event correlation or just data ingestion. Alerting possibilities. Filtering options if you want to receive the noisier information but are trying to get specific bits out of the noise. The filtering helps reduce the amount of noisy data that could be sent on for some other event correlation/monitoring solution freeing up resources for that solution to process relevant information.
