Dashboard

Version 0.9.1 introduced a dashboard. Create a new user (i.e. 'dashboard') and log in with it. Now point the browser to "/dashboard" and switch it to full screen mode (F11 on most browsers) - You may need to also disable toolbars that may not disappear in the fullscreen mode. You can adjust the warning levels in the settings section.

Nagios check

Graylog2 provides an easy way to use Nagios to check if the number of new log messages exceeds a given maximum.

Call 'rake nagios:check minutes=10 messages=100' in your graylog2-web-interface root folder. This checks if there were more than 100 new messages in the last 10 minutes. The possible output you can check with Nagios is:

  • status: error (missing parameters)
  • status: alert
  • status: okay
