Installation

Since Graylog 2.4 the Graylog Enterprise plugins can be installed the same way Graylog is installed. In most setups this will be done with the package tool provided by the distribution you are using and the online repository.

注解

For previous versions of Graylog Enterprise please contact your Graylog account manager.

Once you installed the Graylog Enterprise plugins you need to obtain a license from the Graylog Enterprise web page.

Should a simple apt-get install graylog-enterprise-plugins or yum install graylog-enterprise-plugins not work for you, the following information might help you.

重要

The Graylog Enterprise plugins need to be installed on all your Graylog nodes!

DEB / RPM Package

The default installation should be done with the system package tools. It includes the repository installation that is described in the Operating System Packages installation guides.

When the usage of online repositorys is not possible in your environment, you can download the Graylog Enterprise plugins at https://packages.graylog2.org.

注解

These packages can only be used when you installed Graylog via the Operating System Packages!

DEB

The installation on distributions like Debian or Ubuntu can be done with apt-get as installation tool from the previous installed online repository.

$ sudo apt-get install graylog-enterprise-plugins

RPM

The installation on distributions like CentOS or RedHat can be done with yum as installation tool from the previous installed online repository.

$ sudo yum install graylog-enterprise-plugins

Tarball

If you have done a manual installation or want to include only parts of the enterprise plugins you can get the tarball from the download locations listed in the following table.

Enterprise Plugins download
Enterprise Version Download URL
3.0.0 https://downloads.graylog.org/releases/graylog-enterprise/plugin-bundle/tgz/graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0.tgz

The tarball includes the enterprise plugin JAR files.

$ tar -tzf graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0.tgz
  graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0/LICENSE
  graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0/plugin/graylog-plugin-archive-3.0.0.jar
  graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0/plugin/graylog-plugin-auditlog-3.0.0.jar
  graylog-enterprise-plugins-3.0.0/plugin/graylog-plugin-license-3.0.0.jar

Depending on the Graylog setup method you have used, you have to install the plugins into different locations.

Plugin Installation Locations
Installation Method Directory
Virtual Machine Appliances /opt/graylog/plugins/
Operating System Packages /usr/share/graylog-server/plugin/
Manual Setup /<extracted-graylog-tarball-path>/plugin/

Also check the plugin_dir config option in your Graylog server configuration file. The default might have been changed.

Make sure to install the enterprise plugin JAR files alongside the other Graylog plugins. Your plugin directory should look similar to this after installing the enterprise plugins.

Server Restart

After you installed the Graylog Enterprise plugins you have to restart each of your Graylog servers to load the plugins.

注解

We recommend restarting one server at a time!

You should see something like the following in your Graylog server logs. It indicates that the plugins have been successfully loaded.

Cluster Setup

If you run a Graylog cluster you need to add the enterprise plugins to every Graylog node. Additionally your load-balancer must route /api/plugins/org.graylog.plugins.archive/ only to the Graylog master node. Future versions of Graylog will forward these requests automatically to the correct node.

License Installation

The Graylog Enterprise plugins require a valid license to use the additional features.

Once you have obtained a license you can import it into your Graylog setup by going through the following steps.

  1. As an admin user, open the System / License page from the menu in the web interface.
  2. Click the Import new license button in the top right hand corner.
  3. Copy the license text from the confirmation email and paste it into the text field.
  4. The license should be valid and a preview of your license details should appear below the text field.
  5. Click Import to activate the license.

The license automatically applies to all nodes in your cluster without the need to restart your server nodes.

注解

If there are errors, please check that you copied the entire license from the email without line breaks. The same license is also attached as a text file in case it is wrongly formatted in the email.

License Verification

Some Graylog licenses require to check their validity on a regular basis. This includes the free Graylog Enterprise license with a specific amount of traffic included.

If your network environment requires Graylog to use a proxy server in order to communicate with the external services via HTTPS, you’ll have to configure the proxy server in the Graylog configuration file.

The Graylog web interface shows all details about the license, but if you are still unclear about the requirements, please contact our sales team with your questions.

Details on License Verification

Graylog Enterprise periodically sends the following information to ‘api.graylog.com’ via HTTPS on TCP port 443 for each installed license:

  • A nonce to avoid modified reports
  • The ID of the license
  • The ID of the Graylog cluster
  • A flag indicating if the license is violated
  • A flag indicating if the license has expired
  • A flag indicating if Graylog detected that the traffic measuring mechanisms have been modified
  • A list of how much traffic was received and written by Graylog in the recent days, in bytes
