Interesting product. Have you considered writing an output plugin for Heka (https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka), so that people could use the parsers and client side aggregators etc written for Heka with your service?

We'd certainly be open to that if asked. We practice Complaint Driven Development [0] when it comes to API integrations and the like -- we prioritize what our customers ask for.

For our core experience, we went with a custom agent because that allowed us to viciously simplify the setup process. But we're very much open to working with other tools as well.
