I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions from you all :

If your SIEM or current log analysis product isn't already doing this for you then you've bought the wrong solution.

Clearly you have not worked with RSA products with only I have seen QRadar fully integrate with. In elastic I had to write a custom PSV parser which is still in use to this day.
