I'm pretty satisfied with Loki. It just ingests the logs and offers a powerful query language to extract data at query time (e.g. parse JSON, run regexes, plot). It can store data in a local folder or S3-compatible storage. I also gave up on configuring ELK in the past...

VictoriaLogs is similar, but a nice improvement over Loki

I moved from an ELK stack to Loki and it's sooooo much easier/better/just-works.

yep, loki is basically "distributed grep"
