Can you increase heap size with OVA appliance? Read the documentation and tried to change the heap size and I am thrown an error after reconfiguration.
There is a ‘good’ way and ‘bad’ way to set the OVA heap size.
The best (and supported way) is to edit the file /etc/graylog/graylog-settings.json with values similar to the ones below;
{
"timezone": "Australia/Perth",
"smtp_server": "mail.xxxx.com",
"smtp_port": 25,
"smtp_user": "",
"smtp_password": "",
"smtp_from_email": "prod_graylog",
"smtp_web_url": null,
"smtp_no_tls": false,
"smtp_no_ssl": false,
"master_node": "192.168.0.1",
"local_connect": false,
"current_address": "192.168.0.1",
"last_address": "192.168.0.1",
"enforce_ssl": false,
"journal_size": 4,
"node_id": false,
"internal_logging": true,
"web_listen_uri": false,
"web_endpoint_uri": false,
"rest_listen_uri": "http://0.0.0.0:12900/api",
"rest_transport_uri": false,
"external_rest_uri": false,
"custom_attributes": {
"graylog-server": {
"memory": "3000m",
"elasticsearch_cluster_name": "pgraylog",
"processbuffer_processors": 8
},
"elasticsearch": {
"cluster_name": "pgraylog",
"data_directory": "/graylog-data/elasticsearch"
}
}
}
The value you want to set is ‘memory’ and ensure that the virtual machine has enough memory allocated to it.
Use the command ‘sudo graylog-ctl reconfigure’ to set the heap size memory.By using this method the values are also retained across the use of the command 'sudo graylog-ctl reconfigure’
See the documentation at http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/configuration/graylog_ctl.html#graylog-ctl-advanced
and click on the ‘attributes’ link for further information.
I won’t elaborate on the 'bad way.

After configuring the file how you have it but with my settings. It is still throwing an error.
did you do a brief syntax check?
you are having a , after your processbuffer_processors: 8 and that is not the place to have that …
