I had to convert the logs from the SQL dump, which was a little painful.
We’re now using whatever happens to be the format that ZNC produces.

I would advise against using the Guix project’s logging solution,
because it really isn’t very reliable.  It’s literally just a ZNC
process with the default log plugin enabled.  There’s no proper service
for it; the thing is just started manually.

The log viewer is primitive:

For us it’s worth doing this in spite of all this because the logs are
stored on our servers.  This is pretty much the only advantage to us.
If you don’t mind having the logs stored elsewhere there certainly exist
better solutions than our chewing gum + duct tape contraption.
