Simple way to set up Graylog logging to Graylog?

[DaveB93]

Is there a recommended way, a plugin, or guide, or example on how to get graylog logging to itself ? I am not running the OVA. I have graylog logging it’s syslog to itself, but I want the actual graylog logs as well.

I tried this plugin https://github.com/graylog-labs/graylog-plugin-internal-logs on the version of graylog I’m running but it didn’t seem to be doing anything.

Not the best idea to monitor a system with itself, but if you want to, you should be able to configure filebeat via sidecar to do this.
