Best for setting up alerting for application logs

The tool needs to integrate AI to understand the system logs and alerting should be based on the auto learning.

Return on Investment

It has been helping with alerting on certain attacks on site and monitoring server health.
It slows down during high traffic volume days - ( major 5 days of the year )

Other Software Used

Adobe Target, Tealium iQ Tag Management System, Signal Tag Management

For anything related to the application backend logs and monitoring, it's very appropriate to use, based on which we can create various dashboards / charts. For server health / monitoring, Splunk logs are not very helpful. It completely relies on log statements, if statement is not formatted in standard format, and it gives inaccurate results.
