> just ingest those alerts into Splunk

Aah yes, Splunk....

Good tool, but realistically only viable for those working for a corporate-sized employer with corporate-sized pockets filled with $$$$$$$.

Most people can't afford to simply dump it all into Splunk and (if they are using Splunk at all) have to pre-filter first. Which kind of defeats the point of Splunk if they're already doing the hard work outside, and so might was well use some cheaper (F)OSS tool.



Working on a startup to basically be 75% of the features of Splunk at 50% the cost: https://log-store.com/

Right now it's 100% free, because I'm just looking for user feedback. I think/hope there is an opening in the market for folks looking for an easy-to-use, but powerful tool like Splunk, but can't afford their hefty price tag. All feedback welcomed!

Also created an open-source ETL tool: https://log-ship.com


That sounds interesting, I'll certainly give it a go when I get a chance in the near-future !


you can do the same type of work with spark, which is free
