<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have a simple, easy to use, visualizer for syslogs that allows me to make new graphs quickly?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am in need of getting dashboards from syslog events to our executive teams.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They don’t know what information they want from these dashboards so I am trying to come up with some pretty graphs they can look at, and create new ones if they don’t want that ones I do create. This way I can sketch things up quickly so
they can see what can be graphed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are a small team in a really big shop and I have many other responsibilities. I don’t have the time to spend mucking about with this stuff all day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to find a simple, easy to use visualizer that does not take me days to set up and configure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve tried so many articles about setting up things like ELK and others, and have had a problem getting most of them to work. I spend half a day on each one and something is just not quite right because the build instructions are a month
or more out of date and there is something that has changed in a dependency. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, when trying to deal with creating logstash config files, I don’t want to have to learn yet another config file syntax that I only need to touch 2-3 times per year. If I touch it at this frequency, I have to spend a day trying to remember
what is what in the config file so I can make a new graph.<o:p></o:p></p>
