Hi Tom, I want to get data from a system log file indexed by graylog in a graylog > OVA I just deployed. But, I couldn't find a way to tell graylog to watch a > file in the UI. Any pointers? >
Graylog itself doesn't support a file input (i. e. reading from a local file) out of the box. You'll have to deploy Graylog Collector, nxlog, logstash, or use the capabilities of your syslog daemon to read local files and send them to Graylog (e. g. rsyslog has a file input and can forward its contents to Graylog). > Also, can I tell it not to index other files which are monitored by > default? > The virtual machine images have recently be changed to record their own local logs by default. You can disable this in the respective daemon configuration, e. g. /etc/rsyslog and /etc/nginx.
