Would definitely be good to know more detail on the issues you're
encountering with a pretty broad spectrum of tooling here.

I also recommend you take a look at osquery: https://osquery.io/

I'd also recommend a look at Wazuh as others have mentioned.

Another suggestion in the thread:

This isn't HIDS, it's NIDS (network), but it's valuable nonetheless.
It's best deployed on a network perimeter or similar segment level to
protect multiple hosts. Particularly when running larger size
rulesets, memory consumption can be significant, so it may not be
suited for protecting each individual host in a fleet.
