    Sagan is a multi-threads, high performance log analysis engine. At it's core, Sagan similar to Suricata/Snort but with logs rather than network packets. (by quadrantsec)

  • Relating specifically for inbound traffic : Some architectures do HTTPS termination at the load balancer/reverse proxy. If the web application logs are aggregated in one place (or you're using a cloud WAF service), you can use Sagan to run Snort rules against the requests. It's a band aid, but sometimes you have to make the most of the data you already have.
