Pros

“Speaking about security, it helps me a lot, I collect logs from firewall, nas, switch, windows (e.g. Domain Controller and Terminal Server) and linux server, especially if they are published on internet. If you have an exchange on premise you should collect the log files under inetpub directory (use the windows filebeat). ”
