How to Install Graylog on EndeavourOS Latest

Graylog is a powerful and scalable open-source log management platform that provides centralized log collection, analysis, and visualization. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Graylog on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A server running EndeavourOS Latest with root privileges.
• Minimal requirements for Graylog installation: 4 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, and 20 GB of available disk space.

Step 1 - Install Java

Graylog requires a Java runtime environment to run. In this step, we will install OpenJDK 8 on EndeavourOS Latest.

2. Install OpenJDK 8:

   sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless
   

3. Verify the Java installation by checking the version:

   java -version
   

   If Java is installed and working properly, you will see the version information.

Step 2 - Install MongoDB

Graylog requires a MongoDB database to store its data. In this step, we will install MongoDB on EndeavourOS Latest.

1. Install MongoDB by running the following command:

   sudo pacman -S mongodb
   

2. Start and enable the MongoDB service:

   sudo systemctl enable --now mongodb
   

Step 3 - Install Elasticsearch

Graylog uses Elasticsearch for full-text search and indexing. In this step, we will install Elasticsearch on EndeavourOS Latest.

1. Install Elasticsearch by running the following command:

   sudo pacman -S elasticsearch
   

2. Configure Elasticsearch to start automatically at boot time:

   sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch
   

3. Start the Elasticsearch service:

   sudo systemctl start elasticsearch
   

Step 4 - Install Graylog

In this step, we will download and install Graylog on EndeavourOS Latest.

Step 5 - Access Graylog Web Interface

In this step, we will access the Graylog web interface to set up a new user and configure Graylog.

1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://server_ip_address:9000, where server_ip_address is the IP address of your EndeavourOS Latest server.

2. You should see the Graylog login page. Enter the username and password you want to use to log in.

3. Once you log in, you will be directed to the Graylog dashboard, where you can start setting up inputs, streams, and more.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Graylog on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start collecting and analyzing logs from your servers and applications.
