Microsoft Windows | ||
***************** | ||
|
||
Unfortunately there is no supported way to run Graylog on Microsoft | ||
Windows operating systems even though all parts run on the Java Virtual | ||
Machine. We recommend to run the :ref:`virtual machine appliances | ||
<virtual-machine-appliances>` on a Windows host. It should be technically | ||
possible to run Graylog on Windows but it is most probably not worth the time | ||
to work your way around the cliffs. | ||
|
||
Should you require running Graylog on Windows, you need to disable the message | ||
journal in ``graylog-server`` by changing the following setting in the | ||
``graylog.conf``:: | ||
|
||
message_journal_enabled = false | ||
|
||
Due to restrictions of how Windows handles file locking the journal will not | ||
work correctly. | ||
|
||
**Please note that this impacts Graylog's ability to buffer messages, so we | ||
strongly recommend running Graylog on Linux. Consider a Linux virtual machine | ||
on a Windows host. Graylog setups on Windows are no fun and not officially | ||
supported.** | ||
