Hello,
Since i am modifying a lot of .jar files on daily basis (due to the fact we deploy them with jboss application server but we don’t have the source) at my workplace i’ve decided to make a little experiment with the graylog installation.
I strongly advise to NOT do anything from the below if you’re not confident what are you doing exactly.
Here’s a few steps that if you follow up carefully you will succeed in changing the default background.
0. Stop the graylog-server service
Most important step is to take a backup of graylog.jar (for debian ubuntu it’s located here : /usr/share/graylog-server
Download graylog.jar via FTP/SFTP to your local computer
Open graylog.jar with 7zip (this is very important to do , otherwise you can break the integrity of the jar file)
While inside of graylog.jar locate any files that have extension .jpg (for my case it was the selected one)
it would be the coolest feature in graylog if it’s supported by the creators…
Thanks for the information
But some warning
The file is provided by the graylog-server package (centos), so an update won’t work or will overwrite the changes (if you installed from package) (based on the package’s settings)
There are feature requests (for the official way), give a +1.
Hi @zay7sev ,
I would like to replace the default background in graylog, I work with Graylog 2.5 (Os : centos7) , I have tried many times, I want to follow a clear method.
Hi @Labidi,
Unfortunately i haven’t tested this on CentOS, and i never used graylog below 3.1.x but it should be the same.
Locate the graylog.jar and execute the same steps.
Anyway even if we have this workaround i highly recommend to wait until a official feature is available to be used.

I delete the photo that is in the web interface \ asests in the file graylog.jar and I replace it with the new one with the same name ?? now I have the background of graylog is white
