When im on call and we get a nagios alert (version probably 2014), i have to ssh into our productive machines after getting an error code, search for a line with that error code in our log, get a second number that i can then use to trace a kibana log

i want to send structured logs/events at some service that I wont have to janitor. the events will mostly be an entity with one or more uuids, and then some info like state changes, maybe some timestmaps or durations, idk. Nothing automated needs to consume this, just sometimes a person will do a search on the uuids to figure out what happened. I only need like 7 maybe 14 days of retention and the volume of incoming events wont be so high. Probably like 1gb/day, for sure less than 100. Only like 5 people will need access.

what service should i use?

an ELK stack
