RFE : send tower log to graylog without using logstash #1309

ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
SUMMARY

Is it possible to e send tower log to graylog without using logstash ? Looks like its possible to pass tower log to gelf using payload, refer link : http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/gelf.html which says with the help of payload any graylog-server node accepts and stores this as a message. So can this be candidate for RFE ?

That being said, another option would be to implement https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/1083, and graylog could piggyback on that.

GELF is superior, syslog limitations: Limited to length of 1024 bytes – Not much space for payloads like backtraces No data types in structured syslog. You don’t know what is a number and what is a string. The RFCs are strict enough but there are so many syslog dialects out there that you cannot possibly parse all of them. No compression

Especially a proper handling for multi-line output like backtraces would be awesome.

Hello, as always a great product AWX and Ansible. we are trying to send the logs of AWX 18,19 to Graylog 4.0.6. There is not a document or a hint on how can it be done. Please explain if it is possible and how should it be realised. Thank you!
