Answer 1

So do you really need a syslog server, or a monitoring system a la Zabbix or Microsoft system center?

Answer 2

Sentry, logstash (+ kibana or whatever).
There are no universal normals, emnip.

Answer 3

I recommend logstash + elastic + kibana. They themselves raised such a system the other day. I like everything very much. We collect logs using rsyslog. Of course, you will have to spend time studying the information and raising it all, but there is a lot of information. I recommend buying immediately. logstesh book. 10 dollars and there is almost all the information that I collected throughout the network.

Answer 4

You described the monitoring system, syslog just writes logs, you need someone to process them after, for example, zabbix or nagios
