Looking to setup a syslog service for my home lab, more to better troubleshoot issues with random hardline disconnects from the switches. I was told that syslog stack would be the best thing especially for long term use. My question is, that the best option or would y'all suggestion something else? I have been looking at greylog/elk/Loki, but can't decide nor does anyone in my circle use anything to help Collect syslogs 🙄

Splunk. The search tool is great, but has a bit of a learning curve to get it set up right. Watch some vids and you’ll be fine.

I only point a few devices at it and have been able to slide by with the free version for awhile now.

If unifi supports syslog, then yes (I think it does but I don’t have it set up personally)

My udm is basically running either debian or Ubuntu with all the major apt packages so everything should work, though I don't think most of the logs go through syslog, many go into their mongodb database I think.
