Are you asking if there are systems/SaaS log monitoring that include alerting on logs? Absolutely! I imagine most do. I'm the founder of Sematext and we've had that functionality for the best part of the previous decade. Generally speaking, you can create queries/filters (e.g. severity:error) and conditions/thresholds that alert you if there are more of fewer matches in some time window (e.g. > 100 hits/matches in 5 minutes). When you are not sure about which threshold values to pick, you can use anomaly detection, so that a deviation from the norm triggers an alert. As for knowing what to look for, yeah, good point. In our case, we have default, out of the box alert rules for different types of integrations. Not Windows, but if you are monitoring e.g. Elasticsearch, etc. Then we have Elasticsearch-specific alert rules that you get out of the box precisely because not everyone who needs to monitor Elasticsearch is an Elasticsearch expert. I assume other vendors have something similar and maybe your old version of Graylog just doesn't...
