# Graylog Demo # Graylog Demo
This is a demonstration of Graylog, a centralized log management system featuring a shell provisioned CentOS 7 Vagrant box. To illustrate various log collection methods `httpd`, `rsyslog` and `docker` are installed and a simple WordPress instance is deployed via Docker Compose. Log collection incorporates Fluentd to ship logs into a Graylog instance from containers, the syslog, and arbitrary filesystem logs. This is a demonstration of Graylog, a centralized log management system featuring a shell provisioned CentOS 7 Vagrant box. To illustrate various log collection methods `httpd`, `rsyslog` and `docker` are installed and a simple WordPress instance is deployed via Docker Compose. Log collection incorporates td-agent (a version of Fluentd) to ship logs into a Graylog instance from containers, the syslog, and arbitrary filesystem logs.
This demonstration assumes you are familiar with using Vagrant + VirtualBox to automate the installation of virtual machines, although you can reference the Vagrantfile's shell provisioning sections to manually set up a system if you so desire. Please install these prerequisites before attempting the quick start below.

- Vagrant will provision a virtual machine with a static private Class B address (specifically `172.28.128.30`). If you would like to change this IP address to something different you will need to change the `PRIVATE_NET_IP` variable and the scripted API calls in the `Vagrantfile`. You'll also need to modify the few wildcard DNS references to it in the two `docker-compose.yml` files. - Vagrant will provision two virtual machines with two consecutive private Class B addresses (starting from `172.28.128.30`). If you would like to change this base IP address to something different you will need to look through the project and find various references. Unfortunately, this is not a simple variable you can set for the entire project.
- Vagrant is set to allocate 4 cores and 4 GB of RAM, you may need to adjust this for your machine if necessary. - Vagrant is set to allocate 4 cores and 4 GB of RAM per machine (this is 8 cores / 8 GB of memory total) you may need to adjust this for your machine if necessary.
- After deploying, Graylog takes the longest to become available and it may take 30 seconds to a few minutes to bring it up depending on your machine. - After deploying, Graylog takes the longest to become available and it may take 30 seconds to a few minutes to bring it up depending on your machine.
