This blog covers recent advancements to support Kubernetes initiatives:

Have you ever needed to grab a log from a local server that is not part of the Windows Event Channel? Applications like IIS or DNS can write their logs to a local file, and you need to get them into your centralized logging server for correlation and visualization.
