Yes, it’s possible. Just use telegraf influxdb to solve it.

Reading docs and create one.

just to be clear: you need telegraf and api tokens to collect graylog metrics (like those available after clicking metrics by the node name on nodes list) in influxdb and display them in grafana, you don’t need those if you want to display data collected by graylog (logs) in elasticsearch, then you just connect grafana to ES data source and that’s it, then you can visualize data on the graphs like you do in graylog dashboards or kibana

Maybe a better question is what are you trying to show on Grafana ?

If you are trying to show the log data, and not the server statistics (which is what Telegraf + InfluxDB would be used for) - then you literally just add the Graylog server as an input like @maniel said. Grafana supports elasticsearch right out of the box.

In fact, that’s exactly how I distribute my reports to the higher-ups. To go a step further, I added an organization in Grafana that allows anonymous RO access and I share a ‘last 30 days’ dashboard in Kiosk mode - with a cron job that sends an HTML-formatted fancy email. Most people think I’ve spent >$100K on an analytics platform. :slight_smile:

Just add something like &refresh=5s&from=now-30d&to=now&theme=light&kiosk=tv onto your grafana url to:

  • Refresh the dashboard every 5 seconds
  • Show last 30 days (this way the numbers move around live)
  • Kiosk Mode (TV)

Maybe I should do another blog post on this one.

You can check the grafana docs for more.

From your screenshots it looks like you’ve got the input working AFAIK. If it saves and tests OK now you’re on to the grafana forums to figure out what you need on that tool. :slight_smile:

the problem is that I don’t receive any log after I connect to elasticsearch.

Thanks
