Hello Graylog Community,
I recently integrated Graylog with our Smart PC systems to centralize log management and improve monitoring across our network. While the setup has been successful, I’m looking for advice to enhance performance and scalability.
What We’ve Done:
- Installation & Setup: Deployed Graylog on a dedicated server and configured Sidecar collectors on Smart PC devices to forward logs.
- Input Categorization: Created inputs to handle system, application, and security logs for organized data management.
- Custom Dashboards: Designed dashboards for real-time visualization of key metrics like error rates and system performance.
Challenges:
- Resource Management: Ensuring the Graylog server handles peak log volumes without performance drops has been a key concern.
Looking for Suggestions:
- What are the best practices for creating efficient extractors to handle diverse log formats?
- How can we prepare Graylog to handle future growth in both log volume and device count?
- Recommendations for setting up alerts to identify potential issues before they escalate.
Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated as we refine this setup.
Thank you in advance for your guidance!
