Graylog was created in 2010 by Lennart Koopmann in Hamburg, Germany, initially as a personal tool for centralised log management. The project was open-sourced in 2012 under the name GELF (Graylog Extended Log Format), and quickly gained popularity within the DevOps and infrastructure communities. Graylog, Inc. was later founded to develop commercial offerings around the open-source core.

Today, the company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in London and Hamburg. It has received significant venture funding and supports thousands of organisations worldwide, from startups to large enterprises and public sector bodies.
