Arie, the following worked for me on Windows 7.
C:\collector\bin>graylog-collector-service.bat install GC Installing service for Graylog Collector Service name: "GC" JAVA_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\" ARCH: "x86" WARNING: JAVA_HOME points to a JRE and not JDK installation; a client (not a server) JVM will be used... Service 'GC' has been installed So I guess that there is an issue with Windows 2003 and the service script. I will try to find a Windows 2003 VM to reproduce it. I also created an issue on GitHub for it. https://github.com/Graylog2/collector/issues/15 Regards, Bernd Arie [Wed, May 27, 2015 at 07:02:20AM -0700] wrote: >Okay it is running and sending data to graylog from windows, >Now it is only not installing as a service, having the following error. > >C:\collector\bin>graylog-collector-service.bat install GA >Installing service for Graylog Collector > >Service name: "GA" >JAVA_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\" >ARCH: "x86" > >WARNING: JAVA_HOME points to a JRE and not JDK installation; a client (not >a server) JVM will be used... >[2015-05-27 16:00:35] [error] [ 2796] Unrecognized cmd option >C:\collector\bin\\windows\graylog-collector-service-x86.exe >[2015-05-27 16:00:35] [error] [ 2796] Invalid command line arguments >[2015-05-27 16:00:35] [error] [ 2796] Commons Daemon procrun failed with >exit value: 1 (Failed to parse command line arguments) >ERROR: Failed to install service: GA > >C:\collector\bin> > > >On Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 3:30:20 PM UTC+2, Arie wrote: >> >> Sorry, I see the typo in my config :-( It is running now >> >> >> On Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 2:29:31 PM UTC+2, Arie wrote: >>> >>> I am playing around with the collector. >>> >>> From a linux machine we are getting data into our test machine, Al-tho >>> data is flat/ one line message. >>> >>> Within windows(2003) we have the following error: >>> >>> C:\collector\bin>graylog-collector.bat run -f >>> c:\collector\config\collector.conf >>> 2015-05-27T13:20:06.846+0200 INFO [main] cli.commands.Run - Starting >>> Collector v0.2.1 (commit 93f4b8e) >>> 2015-05-27T13:20:08.940+0200 INFO [main] collector.utils.CollectorId - >>> Collector ID: dd6c1e19-19b5-422e-b06f-14799d5f7b14 >>> 2015-05-27T13:20:08.987+0200 ERROR [main] cli.commands.Run - >>> Configuration Error: [local-syslog] No configuration setting found for key >>> 'type' >>> 2015-05-27T13:20:09.002+0200 INFO [main] cli.commands.Run - Exit >>> 2015-05-27T13:20:09.002+0200 INFO [Thread-1] cli.commands.Run - >>> Stopping... >>> >>> in the config on windows (2003): >>> >>> inputs { >>> local-syslog { >>> win-application { >>> type = "windows-eventlog" >>> source-name = "Application" >>> poll-interval = 1s >>> } >>> } >>> } >>> >>> >>> >>> Is this just where we are now, and are there improvements coming up/ >>> >>> >>> nice work. >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"graylog2" group. >To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >email to graylog2+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Developer Tel.: +49 (0)40 609 452 077 Fax.: +49 (0)40 609 452 078 TORCH GmbH - A Graylog company Steckelhörn 11 20457 Hamburg Germany Commercial Reg.
