Graylog was created in 2010 by Lennart Koopmann in Hamburg, Germany, initially as a personal tool for centralized log management. The project was open-sourced in 2012 under the name GELF (Graylog Extended Log Format), and quickly became popular in the DevOps and infrastructure communities. Graylog, Inc. was later founded to build 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 organizations worldwide, from startups to large enterprises and government agencies.
