[ale] Monitoring Solutions

[Jason Jessico]

Monitoring might be too big of a topic to effectively tackle.  It
might be helpful to split things up into different categories of
monitoring.  Something like:
-SNMP based host metrics (nagios, zabbix)
-Log collection (rsyslog, logstash)
-Log storage and analytics (elasticsearch)
-Time series data visualization (kibana)
-Network (basic tcpdump, zeek, suricata)
-Application (datadog or equivalent)
Then from there figure out which area(s) are most likely to be useful
to you and focus on some building and testing in those areas first.
