Test that the jail is up by pinging the “host” ping graylog
#Tails pwgen mac#
In my network router I configured DHCP to give the same IP4 address to the MAC address for the graylog jail and to resolve the DNS hostname of graylog (so I don’t need to remember the IP4 address) In this instance my graylog jail is 192.168.1.32 (take note!). After the wizard completes, you will want to click on the greater-than symbol in the graylog jail row in TrueNAS to show the jail details including the IP address. This tutorial will assume you have an understanding of basic Unix and SSH commands. Select Next and then select Submit to create the Jail. I chose DHCP for my Networking configuration which will allow me easy SSH access to the “host”.
#Tails pwgen software#
Name your jail graylog and select the FreeBSD software release, then hit Next.
In the Jails menu on TrueNAS Core 12.0, select the add button and the wizard will prompt you for input to create the Jail. The jail configuration isolates the software and configuration from other applications running on TrueNAS and it provides a stable environment with a large storage pool for log retention. I’ll setup Graylog in a TrueNAS Core 12.0 Jail which will be running FreeBSD 12.2 release. While I didn’t find this other post until after I wrote my post I will cross link to this other post on essentially the same thing 😉 In TrueNAS Core 12.0, use the add Jail wizard Log retention is low on my routers and cable modem (data rolls off quickly), a goal of this project is to retain at least 30-90 days of log messages from all network devices.
After multiple calls to Comcast and several tech visits, I’ve setup my own monitoring to “show” Comcast that I’m not getting the bandwidth they are billing me for. I’m a client of Comcast Xfinity and my network performance has really been poor in mid to late 2020. What am I trying to accomplish by using Graylog at home? Well, my initial requirement is to collect logs from my network routers and incorporate that into my existing network monitoring using InfluxDB and Grafana. Graylog, the company, is based in Houston, Texas (yay!) and boasts over 40k installations.
Graylog is an enterprise log aggregation and management framework similar to Splunk.
