Is Kibana a simple (lightweight) alternative?

Question

linux

Hello.
There is a need to monitor logs, if not in realtime, then at least with click-to-load or something like that.
I wrote my own small application, and did not finish it.
The problem is the following. There is a virtual server with 1 GB of RAM.
Linux, Jboss, ftp and a few other small services run on it, there is still enough memory. But there is no need to buy another 2 GB of RAM just for kibana. Therefore, I am looking for a lightweight alternative that would be able to at least minimally work with jboss and ftp logs, or the ability to customize the pattern.
Thanks for the hints.

Kibana is generally html. Everything works on the client. You would have to buy additional memory for elasticsearch, perhaps. But for elastic, memory consumption can be severely limited in the config.
