Ubuntu 14.04 Graylog2 Virtual Appliance

1 minute read

I have put together a Graylog2 prebuilt virtual appliance to share with the community. This appliance is built on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 Server and running the latest Graylog2 v0.20.1. I hope you enjoy this and find it useful and please feel free to leave comments. You can grab the .ova torrent from here or download from here(Thanks @_lennart).

Below are the details of the appliance. Thanks to all who helped in seeding this for me, much appreciated.

FYI….SSH is not running on the appliance so if you want to run the SSH server you will need to login to the console and run the following to do so.

sudo apt-get -y install openssh-server

If you would rather install Graylog2 on your own; you can still use the auto-install script here and as well watch the video here.

Enjoy!
