Graylog is written in Java, so you also need to use Java or another JVM language, such as Kotlin, Groovy, or Scala, to write plugins for it.

You can find the plugin documentation at [http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/plugins.html](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/plugins.html)

This should be possible, although you won’t get any official support for it.

You would also have to ship your own JRuby runtime with the plugin.

The Graylog Web UI has it’s data supplied by Java, but is actually written in React.js 🙂
