We use graylog (https://www.graylog.org/) if you are considering open source tools for log monitoring and analysis. Once setup it can ingest logs from pretty much any source on the network including flat file and database sources. The real power of the tool comes in with the event and pattern alerting that you can setup. On 29 Apr 2020, 3:54 PM +1000, Cameron Hodge <camthedba_at_gmail.com>, wrote:
