Logging solution that doesn't take a long time to setup / doesn't take a long time to setup (alien.top)

(No offense to some popular solutions in the homelab / self hosting community) Why can't I find a simple logging solution? Most of the popular logging / metric management solutions require, what feels like, a science degree. I just want to setup a logging server, point my servers to it, and maybe configure a few email alerts.

rsyslog/syslog-ng are simple enough.

But logging and monitoring/alerting are different things. Logging is not great for alerts. You want an actual monitoring system for that.

Prometheus is not that complicated, has a huge community of integrations, and is extremely flexible for monitoring everything.
