Mugsy is described as 'Linux file integrity monitor. It runs as a daemon and any file modifications made to your system on directories you've specify to monitor are logged locally and optionally sent to your elasticsearch server(s)' and is an app. There are four alternatives to Mugsy for Linux, Mac and Windows. The best Mugsy alternative is Samhain, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Mugsy are AIDE, Tripwire and syschangemon.
The Samhain host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) provides file integrity checking and log file monitoring/analysis, as well as rootkit detection, port monitoring, detection of rogue SUID executables, and hidden processes.
Open Source Tripwire software is a security and data integrity tool useful for monitoring and alerting on specific file change(s) on a range of systems.
Periodically collects system configuration for changes, it can even run external commands and store their stdout and stderr for change monitoring. Sends periodic reports via e-mail.
