This chart has been deprecated and moved to its new home:
- GitHub repo: https://github.com/KongZ/charts
- Charts repo: https://charts.kong-z.com/
This chart provide the Graylog deployments. Note: It is strongly recommend to use on Official Graylog image to run this chart.
This chart requires the following charts before install Graylog
- MongoDB
- Elasticsearch
To install the Graylog Chart with all dependencies
kubectl create namespace graylog
helm install --namespace "graylog" -n "graylog" stable/graylog
This method is recommended when you want to expand the availability, scalability, and security of the services. You need to install MongoDB replicaset and Elasticsearch with proper settings before install Graylog.
To install MongoDB, run
helm install --namespace "graylog" -n "mongodb" stable/mongodb-replicaset
To install Elasticsearch, run
helm install --namespace "graylog" -n "elasticsearch" stable/elasticsearch
Note: There are many alternative Elasticsearch available on GitHub. If you found the stable/elasticsearch
is not suitable, you can search other charts from GitHub repositories.
To install the Graylog Chart into your Kubernetes cluster (This Chart requires persistent volume by default, you may need to create a storage class before install chart.
helm install --namespace "graylog" -n "graylog" stable/graylog \
--set tags.install-mongodb=false\
--set tags.install-elasticsearch=false\
--set graylog.mongodb.uri=mongodb://mongodb-mongodb-replicaset-0.mongodb-mongodb-replicaset.graylog.svc.cluster.local:27017/graylog?replicaSet=rs0 \
--set graylog.elasticsearch.hosts=http://elasticsearch-client.graylog.svc.cluster.local:9200
After installation succeeds, you can get a status of Chart
helm status "graylog"
If you want to delete your Chart, use this command
helm delete --purge "graylog"
By default, this Chart will create a graylog with 2 nodes (1 master, 1 coordinating). If you want to change the cluster size during installation, you can use --set graylog.replicas={value}
argument. Or edit values.yaml
For example: Set cluster size to 5
helm install --namespace "graylog" -n "graylog" --set graylog.replicas=5 stable/graylog
The command above will install 1 master and 4 coordinating.
Sometime you may need to deploy your graylog to specific node pool to allocate resources.
For example, you have 6 vms in node pools and you want to deploy graylog to node which labeled as cloud.google.com/gke-nodepool: graylog-pool
Set the following values in values.yaml
graylog:
nodeSelector: { cloud.google.com/gke-nodepool: graylog-pool }
For example, you have 6 vms in node pools and 3 nodes are tainted with NO_SCHEDULE graylog=true
Set the following values in values.yaml
graylog:
tolerations:
- key: graylog
value: "true"
operator: "Equal"

This chart will create a Graylog statefulset with one Master node. The chart will automatically create Master node Pod label graylog-role=master
, if it does not exists. The others Pods will be label with graylog-role=coordinating
This chart will automatically calculate Java heap size from given resources.requests.memory
value. If you want to specify number of heap size, you can set graylog.heapSize
to your desired value. The graylog.heapSize
value must be in JVM -Xmx
format.
You can enable input ports by edit the input
values. For example, you want to create a GELF input on port 12222
, and 12223
with Cloud LoadBalancer and syslog on UDP port 5410
without load balancer.
In services of type: LoadBalancer
, the default externalTrafficPolicy is Cluster
, but may be overridden in order to preserve the client IP with Local
.
input:
tcp:
service:
type: LoadBalancer
externalTrafficPolicy: Local
loadBalancerIP:
ports:
- name: gelf1
port: 12222
- name: gelf2
port: 12223
udp:
service:
type: ClusterIP
ports:
- name: syslog
port: 5410
OR, if you want to expose only a single service with all the input ports open, you can do so by specifying the service.ports
value:
service:
ports:
- name: gelf
port: 12222
protocol: TCP
- name: syslog
port: 5410
protocol: UDP
Note: Name must be in IANA_SVC_NAME format - at most 15 characters, matching regex [a-z0-9], containing at least one letter, and hyphens cannot be adjacent to other hyphens
Note: The port list should be sorted by port number.
To enable TLS on input in Graylog, you need to specify the server private key and certificate. You can add them in graylog.serverFiles
value. For example
graylog:
serverFiles:
server.cert: |

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
The certificates will be mounted into the /etc/graylog/server
, so Inputs (e.g. TCP/UDP) can be configured to leverage
those certificates with the following Input API configuration:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
tls_cert_file: | /etc/graylog/server/server.cert |
tls_enable: | true |
tls_key_file: | /etc/graylog/server/server.key |
Graylog can be autoconfigured to run in HTTPS mode when provided certificates by setting the graylog.tls.enabled
value to true
.
If the certificates are different than those provided above (different hostname for example), then the web-specific
certificates can be added to graylog.serverFiles
and you can configure the graylog.tls.certPath
and graylog.tls.keyPath
to match.
Each Graylog node coordinates with each other through the DNS entry exposed via the headless service, so when generating
the certificates, be sure to include a SAN entry for *.graylog[-<suffix>].<namespace>.cluster.local
(or your configured FQDN).
You can get your Graylog status by running the command
kubectl get po -L graylog-role
Output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE graylog-ROLE
graylog-0 1/1 Running 0 1d master
graylog-1 1/1 Running 0 1d coordinating
graylog-2 1/1 Running 0 1m coordinating
If you are encounter "Unprocessed Messages" or Journal files corrupted, you may need to delete all journal files before staring Graylog.
You can do this automatically by setting graylog.journal.deleteBeforeStart
to true
The chart will delete all journal files before starting Graylog.
Note: All uncommitted logs will be permanently DELETED when this value is true
