Jochen, given the issues with remote storage for the journal... Do you recommend high volume nodes be physical? I run into issues with my receiving nodes where once a node has significant messages in the journal it can take considerable time to recover. Often during these periods the system in

To share some more insights and describe how I managed to get Graylog to perform better: Grok patterns are very costly as mentioned earlier so I went ahead and looked for a solution that better indexed those custom logs (in my case sidewinder firewall SEF-format) than having an input with ~ 12

Hi Jochen, in enteprise environments you don´t use SAN for network mounted drives - they become the sole disk infracstructure for your virtual appliances run on (with fibrechannel in our case or iSCSI or FCoE in other cases). The i/o usually feels and acts like local disk mounted volumes. The

Hi Jochen, of that I am aware, alas, a SAN usually provides storage for a virtual infrastructure and as such acts as a "local" drive :) I´ve been trying to find the right settings for our environment for the last 2 days (amount of procs in the server.conf, output_batch_size, etc.) in order to

Hi Jerri, the Graylog disk journal should *always* run locally and *never* be placed on a "remote" disk (like a SAN or any other network storage). You can change the journal directory with the message_journal_dir

Just to share my finding after testing a lot: once I disabled the intranel graylog journaling I get the desired I/O. This might be attributed to my SAN backend but surely enough I can finally run the latest and greatest gralyog features :) -- You received this message because you are

Hi Cazy, thank you so much for your response! I´ll be willing to give it another try and apply your suggestions - I could live with a "little" worse after the upgrade just not with an almost complete standstill. Am Montag, 7. November 2016 11:44:41 UTC+1 schrieb cazy: > > Hi Jerri, > > same

Hi Jerri, same here! We experienced quite the same problems after upgrading from GL 1.3.4/ES 1.7.1 to GL2.1.1/ES 2.3.5. Graylog support recommended increasing output batch size (see also Bob's comment) so we increased the value from 500 to 5000. Moreover, you should set the ES-parameter

Hi bob, appreciate your answer! The VM specs don´t change while upgrading and judging from the CPU utilization I can´t really see a difference between ES 2.3.5 and ES 1.7.1. My inputs come from various sources, logstash, nxlog, raw udp, etc. Inputs don´t change when upgrading though and I get

With 4 cpu's on your ES server your bulk threads will max out at 4, with a 1000 message output batch size that would set your max to essentially 4k msg/s. I would increase the output batch size and add cpu on the ES vm. Also you didn't mention what your input config is in graylog, are you sure
