Oh maaaaan the old graylog2 site had probably my /favorite/ branding in all of software. The heading was "Manage your logs in the dark and have lasers going and make it look like you're from space."<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130302051347/http://graylog2.org/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20130302051347/http://graylog2.o...</a><p>Sad to see it's gone all "professional" now :(<p>The web service had some hilarious bits too. Does it still say "enraging gorillas... | mounting party hats" etc when you log in?
"Users who tested the beta and release candidate versions of v1.0 reported huge improvements in performance and stability. Some of them were unable to crash the system no matter how hard they tried."<p>This statement from the page makes me conclude that others were indeed able to crash the system, perhaps without even trying too hard.<p>My guess is that the statement should be re-worded.
Hurrah - good to see that the Elasticsearch dependency is no longer locked to a rather old version (that bit me a few times when setting up a cluster last year). I'm still a bit wary about having to spin up MongoDB for it as well, though…
So is this in the vein of Splunk, say? My company also uses logentries, and has been quite happy with it, but a hosted open-source tool would be great.
Is Graylog effectively a single product that does the whole thing?
My dismay with the ELK stack is you are effectively juggling 3 separate products with different release cycles.
So there's Graylog, then there's Graylog2, then there's the new-and-improved Graylog.... If someone forks it will there be a new-and-improved Graylog2?
Some folks in the Fluentd community uses Graylog2+Fluentd as an alternative to EFK (Elasticsearch Fluentd Kibana) See <a href="http://www.fluentd.org/guides/recipes/graylog2" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluentd.org/guides/recipes/graylog2</a>
I looked around a little bit on the web page but the answer to my two questions was not immediately apparent to me. (Note: I might just be blind)
1. Can I set up a second Graylog Server as a failover with automated recovery and log syncing when both nodes come back up?
2. Can I run it on any cheap cheap embedded platforms like a raspberry pi or beagleboard?
Can I just have on thing that does event logs and snmp and uptime and alerting for internal and external devices in a secure way all in one package? I'm so tired of having to have 30 different softwares installed just to accomplish 3 things.
