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 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.

Notes about setup

  • This demonstration uses Traefik for routing and the xip.io wildcard DNS service. If DNS fails to resolve for whatever reason you may want to set the domains to the IP inside your operating system's hosts file, e.g.
172.28.128.30   traefik.172.28.128.30.xip.io
172.28.128.30   graylog.172.28.128.30.xip.io
172.28.128.30   wordpress.172.28.128.30.xip.io
  • 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 is set to allocate 4 cores and 4 GB of RAM, 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.

  • The Traefik dashboard is available using admin for both the username and password.

This project is a demonstration only and should not be used in a production environment.

Quick Start

This section assumes you will be using the default 172.28.128.30 IP address

  1. Clone the repository and navigate inside its directory
  2. Create and provision the VM using vagrant up
  3. Navigate to http://graylog.172.28.128.30.xip.io:8080/
  4. Login using admin for both the username and password.
  5. Click on Search on the top menu on the left
  6. You may want to "Search in all messages" on the left under the top menu
  7. Press the start button on the top right to start updating the feed every second

Docker Test

File Test

Syslog Test

  1. Go back to the terminal inside the project's directory and type vagrant ssh
  2. You can test Syslog collection with logger e.g. logger -t test Hello world (or just wait for some to appear)
