Hi @donquixote_dofl

I believe that is one of the roles/features of a monitoring tool. Do you have any on your project ? Splunk, Newrelic, Grafana, Instana, Datadog, Dynatrace etc

Hi @donquixote_dofl,

we use Splunk for creating log dashboards and alerts with queries. I wrote a blog post on this topic: https://meticulous.digital/blog/f/visualizing-aemaacs-logs-with-splunk

Hope it helps,

Daniel
