The full log is insane on a busy server. You get no decent call tracing,
you depend on the format of that log to not change, parsing every line
is _expensive_, and there are issues with log rotation.

Following the AMI events, on the other hand, is easy to set up, allows
for discriminating between calls in a reasonably sane manner, doesn't
have data format problems, parses quickly, and is a simple TCP
data stream that can even be accessed remotely.
