Ask HN: How to monitor the security of a personal VPS?
OSSEC is good for monitoring logs, system files, etc. as well as alerting (and blocking traffic if you want) when anything suspicious happens
Takes a bit of work to set up but is worth it and includes lots of basic checks by default

Passive log analysis software
It's been a long time since I tried using OSSEC but maybe that would help. It's a Host-based IDS, rather than a network based IDS like Snort. Last time I checked you could point it towards your logs and it will parse them offline similar to how Snort can read a PCAP file.

Intrusion detection software?
WAZUH (fork of OSSEC would be my first choice when it comes to Linux based HIDS (host based), and Snort or Suricata if you are looking for NIDS (network based). As well as Lynis for ensuring the setup of the host is as you intended.
