      Hi,

      I recently came across few log analysis tools, many of them offering free plans which might work for a home user (like me) but all of these services require forwarding logs to an external cloud.

      Are there any tools that can be installed natively on LAN for log analysis?

      Thanks,

        @pm_13 Assalamu alaikum, Shalom, Namaste.
        Yes you can. I use Pfsense CE (free) with IBM Qradar CE (free). I can even tracked the apps that intruders used.

        IBM QRadar

          @akegec Thanks for your recommendation ๐Ÿ‘

          IBM's QRadar looks very promising, I tried the Community Edition (OVA file) on a temporary VM and it seems to have a lot more features than my expectations!!

          I am in the process of creating a dedicated machine that can run QRadar and have logs from all machines including IoTs forwaded to this machine.

          Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™
