graylog_http_gelf

Use case

Same GELF message as graylog_gelf_udp, sent as an HTTP POST instead of UDP - useful when UDP is blocked, or you want a real HTTP status/error back per send.

Configuration 

outputs:
  - name: graylog2
    type: graylog_http_gelf
    url: http://graylog.example.com:12202/gelf
    http_code: 202               # expected status, 0 = don't check

    # auth - only needed if this GELF HTTP input sits behind something that
    # requires it (e.g. a reverse proxy); a raw Graylog GELF HTTP input
    # typically needs none, so these are commented out by default:
    #username: cmt
    #password: xxxxxxx
    #token: "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"   # takes priority over username/password

token (if set) is sent verbatim as the Authorization header - no prefix added for you. See fields common to every HTTP-based output for the rest (ssl_skipverify, http_proxy, timeout, prefix, fieldmap).

Output

Same fields as graylog_gelf_udp: one HTTP POST per result (no bulk mode), with the same per-call circuit breaker on a hard send failure.

Example 

cmt --report --output graylog2 --debug
