Overview
The charm installs Graylog using the snap package.
Usage
juju deploy cs:~graylog-charmers/graylog
juju run-action --wait graylog/X show-admin-password
Graylog requires MongoDB to run and Elasticsearch to be useful.
juju deploy cs:~mongodb-charmers/mongodb
juju relate graylog:mongodb mongodb:database
juju deploy cs:~elasticsearch-charmers/elasticsearch
juju relate graylog:elasticsearch elasticsearch:client
You can then browse to http://ip-address:9000
and log in as the user "admin".
The password is by default a random value so juju run-action --wait graylog/X show-admin-password
must be run for
admin access to the installation.
Reverseproxy Relation
Graylog supports advertising its ports to an application acting as a reverseproxy using the http
relation. The port
of the webUI is exposed over the relation in the all_services
variable of the relation.
Note: For Graylog version 2, the API port is also exposed over the
http
relation. Graylog version 3 hard codes the/api/
location and uses the default port (9000) for both webUI and API.
More details on using this are in the reverseproxy instructions for the Apache2 charm.
Sample Graylog 2 vhost template for the apache2 charm:
$ cat graylog-vhost.tmpl
<Location "/">
RequestHeader set X-Graylog-Server-URL "http://{{servername}}/api/"
ProxyPass http://{{graylog_web}}/
ProxyPassReverse http://{{graylog_web}}/
</Location>
<Location "/api/">
ProxyPass http://{{graylog_api}}/api/
ProxyPassReverse http://{{graylog_api}}/api/
</Location>
Sample Graylog 3 vhost template for the apache2 charm:
$ cat graylog-vhost.tmpl
<Location "/">
RequestHeader set X-Graylog-Server-URL "http://{{servername}}/"
ProxyPass http://{{graylog_web}}/
ProxyPassReverse http://{{graylog_web}}/
</Location>
Now deploy and configure apache2 as your graylog reverse proxy:
juju deploy apache2
juju config apache2 "enable_modules='headers proxy_html proxy_http'"
juju config apache2 "vhost_http_template=$(base64 ./graylog-vhost.tmpl)"
juju expose apache2
juju relate apache2:reverseproxy graylog:website
Visit http://<apache2-public-ip>
to access the Graylog web interface.
Scale out Usage
The MongoDB and Elasticsearch applications can both be scaled up or down. Graylog will reconfigure itself as needed. The Graylog charm does not yet support clustering of multiple units.
Configuration
Depending on the Elasticsearch charm used, the cluster name may not be passed to Graylog. In this case, the
elasticsearch_cluster_name
config option should be set.
Upgrade
Graylog may be upgraded to a different snap version by setting the channel
config option. For example, switch to the
latest version 3 edge snap with the following:
juju config graylog channel='3/edge'
Note: When upgrading from Graylog version 2 to version 3, please consult the upgrade guide to ensure your environment meets the minimum requirements.
If a new channel
config option results in a new snap being installed, the charm will backup the previous
configuration file on the graylog unit in /var/snap/graylog/common/server.conf.$prev
. This may be useful if
graylog needs to be reverted to a previous version in the future.
