Agreed, though with liblognorm rules you just shove every single variable field into JSON field and that mostly does the job. And in the case you were talking about logs with no matching rules, liblognorm reports all unparsed logs, and my logdevourer sends them along the properly parsed logs, so no data is actually omitted.
