Hi! Graylog2 does not have the ability to read files directly yet, so if you need that you have several options. The most common one is to use logstash for that purpose (I know that some people simply mount the logs remotely via the network and only run logstash on one server). Another option would be to use syslog-ng to read from files and pass them on to graylog2.
