Graylog: Configuring the Graylog input

This documentation is part of the Using with Node.js guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to send logs from Node.js to Graylog.

👋 Welcome to Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a fully managed Graylog cloud solution designed for speed and simplicity. You can:

• Count on an unlimited, dedicated SMTP email server included with your service.
• Apply updates easily with a single click, with no manual intervention required.
• Use a custom domain name secured by HTTPS (for example, https://logs.your-company.com), providing your team with secure, direct access.
• Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure with no shared resources or noisy neighbours.

Focus on your data, not your tools: you can get started with Stackhero's Graylog cloud hosting solution in just a few minutes.

On the Graylog interface, go to System/Inputs, create a new input of type "GELF UDP," and click on "Launch new input." In the window that appears, check "Global," add a title, and confirm without changing any other settings.

That’s it! Your Graylog is now ready to receive logs from your Node.js application.

To improve security, consider filtering the IPs allowed to send data to port 12201. To do this, go to the Stackhero dashboard, select your Graylog service, and configure the "Firewall" to allow only your IPs.
