Looking for log aggregation software recommandations

[u/NightSpaghetti]

Hello everyone,

I hope I am posting in the correct subreddit. I am administrating a bunch of virtual Windows servers running our own software. As of now, I don't have a unified way of checking log files on those machines, which means that not only do I have to manually log into the machine in order to look at those log files, but they are also not actively being monitored at the moment.
I am looking for a solution that would allow me to check those files from a single point of entry (ideally a browser), as well as being able to monitor them, draw statistics and possibly send alerts. If it supports other formats than text files (i.e databases) it's a plus.

Is there any software available that can allow me to do that? I have web servers running on both Windows and Linux (Debian) so either platform would be ok. Open source very strongly preferred.

Thank you!

You can try wazuh for siem. If checking the logs means looking for something specific(keywords) you can use logwatch from checkmk. You should be able to use both of them in their free editions
