The document provides guidelines on etiquette during the Graylog session, emphasizing punctuality, constructive feedback, and minimal disturbances. It explains Graylog as a centralized log management system that efficiently handles large volumes of data, detailing its core features like streams, dashboards, alerts, and installation requirements. Additionally, it outlines the supported operating systems and necessary components for setting up Graylog using Docker.

4. Introduction
• Abundance of data (sources can be devices, applications, and operating systems)
• A centralized Log Management System (LMS) like Graylog provides a means to aggregate,
organize, and make sense of all this data.
• Graylog efficient in collecting and parsing petabytes of data .
• Once it has been parsed, log data can provide extremely useful information for forensic investigations,
threat hunting, and business analytics in general

5. Why Graylog ?
• Graylog Open Core + Shared Commercial Features
• Specific Content, Dashboards, and Alerts for Each Solution.
• No Additional Data Storage Needed.
• Easier and more affordable
• Find and fix issues quicker and easier
• Great data sharing

7. Graylog Core Features
• Streams operate as a form of tagging for incoming messages. Streams route messages into
categories in real time, and team rules instruct Graylog to route messages into the appropriate
stream.
• The Graylog Search page is the interface used to search logs directly. Searches may be saved
or visualized as dashboard widgets that may be added directly to dashboards from within the
search screen.
• Graylog Dashboards are visualizations or summaries of information contained in log events.
• Alerts are created using Event Definitions that consist of Conditions. When a given condition is
met it will be stored as an Event and can be used to trigger a notification.

8. Graylog Core Features
• Content packs accelerate the set-up process for a specific data source. A content pack can include
inputs/extractors, streams, dashboards, alerts, and pipeline processors. For example, users can create
custom inputs, streams, dashboards, and alerts to support a security use case.
• An Index is the basic unit of storage for data in OpenSearch and Elasticsearch. Index sets provide
configuration for retention, sharding, and replication of the stored data.
• Graylog Sidecar is an agent to manage fleets of log shippers, like Beats or NXLog. These log shippers
are used to collect OS logs from Linux and Windows servers.Graylog supports management of any log
shipper as a backend.
• Graylog’s Processing Pipelines enable the user to run a rule, or a series of rules, against a specific type
of event. Tied to streams, pipelines allow routing, denylisting, modification, and enrichment of messages
as they flow through Graylog.
