it's vm image, so gparted wouldn't work

You can of course just read OVA 
Readme https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-images/tree/master/ova :-) 
especially *"Extend disk space"* section, in short you have to generate 
new, larger hd image and make vm use it as second one, create partition on 
it, move contents of /var/opt/graylog/ and mount it in this directory 
(which is now empty)

Since official OVA images are configured to use LVM you can just add create 
a new disk image in virtualbox (if you use it) add it to VM, boot it, and 
add new hd to LVM volume, then increase root partition size.

Alternatively you can increase existing HD image size, you can easily do 
that with tools included with virtualbox, (the image needs to be converted 
to VDI format first since it's the only format virtualbox tools can 
resize), then after vm bootup you need to increase LVM volume and root 
partition sizes respectively, this is what i've done

I've done it about a month ago, dind't documented it, so i can't provide 
any more help. It took me about 2 hours with all the researching, but i 
already had some linux experience. The first solution is the easiest, you 
need basic linux knowlege to do it, the second and third need more 
knowlege, i had to do additional research concerning LVM and vm images 
resizing, it's easy to google.
