Splunk is good for log processing of all sorts, including event logs. We log app events in a custom format, drain to syslog, and ingest into Splunk. It works great with the exception that some Splunk queries (through the API) can be quite slow for use in online user-facing analytic dashboards, and it's not particularly cheap.
