We've discussed log monitoring but not tackled it for a number of reasons, one of which being that the Splunk's, SumoLogic's, etc., of the world are very robust tools that do what they do really well especially when it comes to the terabytes worth of data that is often thrown at them. Most companies have a solution like this in place already, so integrating with them more tightly is our preferred path at the moment.
Having said that, "push data" is something we've got on the docket for next year. While that certainly will include technologies like StatsD, it's not to the exclusion of other formatted data (eg JSON payloads) where something like a ELK may be the right endpoint. We already take in "events", so it's not too much of a stretch. To be determined, and input welcome.
