SIEM (startrek.website)

I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.

I want to set up a SIEM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.

I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).

I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SIEM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.

What do you suggest?

Grafana Loki is very light on resources and simple to deploy in most cases.

Combine with Sigma detection rules (converted to LogQL queries using the Loki plugin) and you're off to the races.
