I wrote something similar that will send stdin to Google Stackdriver Logging.

In the same vein, pipe anything to `logger` to send it to the local syslogd (and if configured, to remote destinations).

For example, this uses datamash (https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/) to sum column 2 of a CSV ("-t,"), then log the output:

    datamash -t, sum 2 < stuff.csv | logger

Yeah logger or fluentd are definitely better long term solutions. I wanted something that was no frills and minimal config for ad-hoc situations. Other's on my team found it useful so I open sourced it.
