[graylog2] My experience with collector-sidecar in Windows

2016-12-06 Thread Michael Taylor
I got collector-sidecar to work on my windows systems and here are some tips. I'm using the latest graylog in Docker. - Update your graylog configuration to use GRAYLOG_WEB_ENDPOINT_URI if you haven't already, since this URI can now be under the same port as the web interface. - Be

2016-09-09 Thread Michael Taylor
Enable full message logging to be sure, but it looks like the Cisco isn't sending its host or IP in the message. I have this same problem with some cheap APs that have no way to identify them based on the syslog message. You may have the option to configure the syslog service to send the IP or

I currently have one input per AP at one site, but I have another site with 60 of the APs and I wasn't looking forward to configuring 60 different inputs and port forwards. Unfortunately, there is no other identifying information in the syslog line. The first field after the timestamp is the se

[graylog2] Syslog input: Add source IP field to messages from devices with poor syslog formatting?

2016-09-02 Thread Michael Taylor
I have several cheap Cisco access points that do not add their hostname or IP into the syslog lines when they send messages to a remote server. The only opportunity to log the source of the message is to use the source IP when the Syslog UDP input receives it. I can use rsyslog to modify the me

I think collector_sidecar.yml installs with a Linux path for the configuration even in Windows. Fix the path and make sure the user running collector-sidecar has rights to write in the folder. Mine looks like this: server_url: http://:12900 node_id: collector_id: file:C:\Program Files (x86)\g

2016-05-19 Thread Michael Taylor
Are you thinking of nxlog.conf? nxlog.exe comes from installing nxlog separately. The sidecar creates nxlog.conf and runs the nxlog service using it. On Thursday, May 19, 2016 at 9:20:06 AM UTC-4, rvb n wrote: > > installing graylog collector sidecar in windows 10 64bit not working > nxlog.exe

[graylog2] Sidecar collector is now a plugin?

2016-05-18 Thread Michael Taylor
I see that the newest version of the sidecar says it needs the graylog-plugin-collector. Is this how the collector functionality will work going forward? The base installation still has a collector page under System/Collectors, is that page going to go away or stop working without the plugin in

[graylog2] Plugins with Docker

Do you guys recommend a way to install plugins with the Docker image? I was going to link the container's plugins directory to a directory on the host like this: docker run -t \ *ports and stuff* -v /graylog2/server/plugins:/usr/share/graylog/plugins \ *other stuff* graylog2/server:2.0.

Drools can work for this purpose, but you should seriously consider nxlog for Windows: it's a tiny service with fully configurable behavior and no Java dependency. On Monday, April 25, 2016 at 9:16:11 AM UTC-4, Shailesh Singh wrote: > > Thanks Jochen for getting back to me. > > I am going to use

[graylog2] GELF TCP option for collectors

2016-04-26 Thread Michael Taylor
I try to use TCP with GELF on all my nxlog collectors on my Windows servers, so that if Graylog goes down the servers know the connection is gone and they hold their messages until they can connect to it again. Then they dump all their backlogged messages to Graylog and I don't lose any message

[graylog2] Re: web interface with v2.0 appears to require direct REST access?

2016-04-14 Thread Michael Taylor
Yes it's required to connect to TCP 12900. That's also where the sidecar and collectors connect. I think the reasoning was that you ought to have the ability to open the firewall to the server since you're already using a bunch of ports to send it the log data it needs. The web interface isn't

Thank you. Is there an updated list of all the Docker variables for 2.0 somewhere? Also my host wants to set that IP dynamically when the container is created. Is there a way for the container to find out that IP after it's running? On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 10:40 AM, Michael Taylor
