About this ebook
"Graylog Administration and Log Management"
"Graylog Administration and Log Management" is a comprehensive guide for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and security professionals who seek to implement enterprise-grade centralized log management solutions. The book begins with solid foundations in log management principles and delves into the intricate architecture behind Graylog’s distributed systems, exploring message lifecycles, storage strategies, and high-availability cluster designs. Readers are introduced to both core and advanced Graylog concepts, making this an indispensable manual for both new users and seasoned practitioners aiming to optimize log collection and analysis.
Through practical chapters, the book covers the deployment of Graylog across diverse environments—including on-premises, cloud, containerized, and geo-distributed architectures—addressing critical considerations such as automated configuration, resource tuning, disaster recovery, and scalability. Special attention is given to the integration of data from heterogeneous sources, the design of ingestion pipelines, and the enforcement of secure, reliable data flows. Readers are further equipped to handle complex log processing needs with in-depth guidance on pipeline rules, enrichment, filtering, data normalization, and compliance-driven storage management.
Beyond core operations, the guide explores advanced capabilities: from search query mastery and interactive dashboards to seamless integrations with external analytics, business intelligence, and security platforms. Security and compliance are treated as first-class priorities, with detailed instruction on role-based access, encryption, audit trails, and support for multi-tenant or regulated environments. Rounding out the coverage are best practices for monitoring, troubleshooting, dynamic scaling, DevOps automation, and extensibility through plugins and APIs—empowering readers to both master Graylog and adapt its rich ecosystem to the evolving challenges of modern IT operations.
