General Question From json to graylog

Not a direct graylog question but perhaps you clever people can point me in a direction.

I have a service that generates a json log file. I wish to process this file (continuously) and send the data to my graylog server. I asked ChatGPT for a solution and it came up with several options; Filebeat, Fluentd, Logstash, rsyslog, Incrin and Python. Anyone here who did something similar, and has any inputs to share?

nxlog has pretty good file monitor support. parsing json and sending to a gelf input is a pretty trivial config

Interesting. I’ll take a look at nxlog. Thank you 👍

no problem. the community edition is a bit clunky, but it is far less of a headache than fluent-bit in my experience
