Graylog - Dynatrace integration

[Mizső]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have experience with Graylog - Dynatrace integration? Is it possible to ingest logs to Dynatrace from Graylog?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Mizső

Hi Mizso,

Some time ago during the POC I tested Graylog data monitoring. The solution that worked for me was to use the API to export the data. You can export data to, for example, CSV format.

See the possible functions in Graylog's API: https://go2docs.graylog.org/5-0/setting_up_graylog/rest_api.html?tocpath=Setting%20up%20Graylog%7CGe...

Then you need to create a plugin to parse this data and send it to DT. Later you will present data from graylog as metrics.

This is not a simple matter, but I hope I helped:)

Hi @radek_jasinski ,

Thank you for your tip. We are going to plan to build this solution to our client.

Best regards,

Hello @Mizső, did you end up building this for your client? We have a prospect who's also using Graylog and they want to know if we can ingest the logs from Graylog, which they use for a legacy system's log monitoring.

I doubt it will be possible to use Dynatrace directly for log monitoring since their legacy systems are very old, and installing OneAgent may not be possible, but I still need to unpack how they're getting the logs into Graylog...perhaps via our API may be an option 🙂

Hi @andre_vdveen,

Unforunately this topic was postponed at the clinet and now it has a low priority...so in the coming future we will not have chance to working on it at the client. ☹️
