Suggest an open-source log analyser?

[Alec Taylor]

Web interface (and/or SQL-like query interface); is useful for
drilling down and rolling up multiparametric analyses.

Currently looking at logstash, kibana, graylog2 and a few others.
Might end up writing my own to escape the Java dependency.

Would welcome further suggestions.
