Striim's target audience includes people looking for logging too.
I was referring to the aggregation of the logs, including taking columns / data types from different log streams and combining them (in real time) to create new objects. You can then set alerts and build dashboards on the new objects.
Additionally he mentioned standardizing the request across the stack. Since Striim can import the logs from all these types of services and combine them to create a new object that represents the request across the stack he could accomplish his second request as well.
Combine that with the ability to ingest huge amounts of data and query in real time, it sounded like what he was looking for.
