Don't know a thing about it.

Just looked it up on youtube and found a video of guy using it to pull data from a database. Looked like the advantage to it was being able to select predefined fields, making the end user not have to worry about column names, joins, etc. Not sure why a network engineer would need to be involved in this. Unless you were dumping syslog and or SNMP polls to DB and wanting to create reports on those.

We use Splunk for log consolidation which seems kind of similar. It indexes log files/SNMP/Syslog, almost anything that can be outputted. You can then quickly search through those logs, use regular expressions to create custom fields for your various log types, search for keywords or timestamps, create custom time ranges to dig through, etc. You can then create dashboards, alerts, and reports based off of the data that is returned from your searches.
