We were using RabbitMQ internally for some other things, but we didn't want 
to overload the RabbitMQ instance for a secondary purpose on top of the 
primary function.  And we didn't want a second installation of RabbitMQ (or 
anything comparable) just for this one other task.

This is the same reason why we didn't look at graylog -- we were already 
using MongoDB for something else internally.


As has been said before, YMMV.
