Best Tool / App to Monitor Variety of Text-Based Log Files on Multiple Systems
Hey Guys -
I have many personal devices and systems that I have running for personal use. Most of the things I want to monitor write to one or more text-based log files on my primary server. I'm trying to find a single tool which I may set up to monitor as many of these as possible which ideally may be monitored from my iPad or another mobile device.
For monitoring Windows OS alone, I use PC Monitor (now Pulseway) which I really like. It has a client which runs on each PC I monitor and I have a dashboard which may be opened on my iPad/Android phone to view stats and make minor changes. If it could cover all of the things I'm wanting, it would be perfect.
Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

My ideal solution would offer the following:
Have a mobile dashboard providing an overview of all services
Be able to designate and "Application" and configure it to look at a specific text-based file (or pat with multiple files) to get it's event data)
Be able to designate keywords per set application which if they appear in the log file(s) for that app, to get a notification
Be able to monitor Windows & Linux hosts
Have an awesome GUI :)
Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!
