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.

Hey Everyone,
Just want to get some thoughts on other monitoring platforms
that may be useful in an Oracle database environment, along the lines of log
analytics.
We have Oracle Cloud Control already implemented
We also have some basic alert log monitoring on each of the servers.
What I’m looking at is to utilize something like splunk, scalyr or some
other Open source tooling to get some insights into Listener logs, alert
logs etc.
Recommendations? Thoughts?
Environment
1300 Oracle databases (9i to 18.9)
300 Hosts, a mix of Solaris, Linux, and Windows
Virtual and physical.
I’m only looking at this from an Oracle viewpoint and only on my Oracle
servers. You could look at this request as “Shadow IT”. Our IT is outsourced
and they have their own monitoring using nagios.
