Vagrant

Requirements

You need a recent vagrant version.

Installation

These steps will create a Vagrant virtual machine with all Graylog services running:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Graylog2/graylog2-images/3.0/vagrant/Vagrantfile
$ vagrant up

Usage

After starting the virtual machine, your Graylog instance is ready to use. You can reach the web interface by pointing your browser to : http://localhost:8080

The default login is Username: admin, Password: admin.

Configuration

We are shipping the graylog-ctl tool with the virtual machine appliances to get you started with a customised setup as quickly as possible. Run these (optional) commands to configure the most basic settings of Graylog in the appliance:

sudo graylog-ctl set-email-config <smtp server> [--port=<smtp port> --user=<username> --password=<password>]
sudo graylog-ctl set-admin-password <password>
sudo graylog-ctl set-timezone <zone acronym>
sudo graylog-ctl reconfigure

The graylog-ctl has much more functionality documented. We strongly recommend to learn more about it to ensure smooth operation of your virtual appliance.
