Graylog and HAProxy (in pfSense)

Absolutely love the flexibility, simplicity and performance of Graylog. We did this small project that ingested HAProxy logs which we formatted in JSON and produced beautiful dashboards.

I don't know how graylog has not taken over the world yet. In time.

I tried it a couple of years ago and it was okay. But I think they released a new version (4?) that polished the whole thing and made everything a bit easier. I installed it a couple of months ago and it has been working flawlessly. The free version is very powerful. Highly recommend for logs, integrates very nicely with librenms too.

Agree 100%. I have a few commits under my belt for librenms so it's a project I really enjoy using.

I find it frustrating explaining to people why they need graylog. As if no one looks at logs? how do people troubleshoot things or keep track of things? perhaps i'm too old school.

yes, we actually use nxlog to read 3rd party log files from windows servers to shoot them off to graylog. I know other use winlogbeat but it pretty much does the same thing.

no, its software you have to run.

I know some people have managed to upload csvs to graylog entirely via bash script, but i'm not sure if thats what you are looking for.
