Hi@Lakshminarayanan,

There are some good monitoring tools available in the Market like ELK, Splunk, Prometheus & Grafana, etc. Most of the industries are using Splunk. It charges more compared to the other tools. But it gives you more operations and features. You can use ELK also. It is an open-source. You can try with this. If it fulfills your requirement then deploy your environment accordingly.
