[graylog2] Re: Storage size
Hi, I did tried to do as instructed in the manual. I've created a new virtual disk, formatted as ext3. Next I've issued graylog-ctl stop to shutdown all relevant processes. I've mounted temporary tne new disk under /dbstore and chmod 777 it. After that I've moved all 4 folders from /var/opt/graylog/data to /dbstore. Once done, I've unmounted the disk from /dbstore and mounted it as /var/opt/graylog/data. The problem is, after graylog-ctl start no errors are reported, but the web interface says no graylog servers available to log in. What am I doing wrong ?

[graylog2] Re: Storage size
it's vm image, so gparted wouldn't work You can of course just read OVA Readme https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-images/tree/master/ova :-) especially *Extend disk space* section, in short you have to generate new, larger hd image and make vm use it as second one, create partition on it, move contents of /var/opt/graylog/ and mount it in this directory (which is now empty) Since official OVA images are configured to use LVM you can just add create a new disk image in virtualbox (if you use it) add it to VM, boot it, and add new hd to LVM volume, then increase root partition size. Alternatively you can increase existing HD image size, you can easily do that with tools included with virtualbox, (the image needs to be converted to VDI format first since it's the only format virtualbox tools can resize), then after vm bootup you need to increase LVM volume and root partition sizes respectively, this is what i've done I've done it about a month ago, dind't documented it, so i can't provide any more help. It took me about 2 hours with all the researching, but i already had some linux experience. The first solution is the easiest, you need basic linux knowlege to do it, the second and third need more knowlege, i had to do additional research concerning LVM and vm images resizing, it's easy to google.

Ok, let me first apologize for my lack of Linux knowledge, but it is increase the size of the disk from say 20GB to 250GB, what commands do I run on the OVA to get the OS to see the new disk space?

I don't think that there's a helper command to do this already.

If you have GUI in your OS - install gParted tool, so you can easilly resize your current partition. Also you can DL live iso and boot it on VM.
