About Graylog Sidecar

The Graylog Sidecar is a supervisor process for 3rd party log collectors like NXLog and filebeat. The Sidecar program is able to fetch and validate configuration files from a Graylog server for various log collectors. You can think of it like a centralized configuration and process management system for your log collectors.

To properly configure the sidecar, you'll need to pass in your **server url** and your **api token**.

choco install graylog-sidecar --install-arguments="'-SERVERURL=http://10.0.2.2:9000/api -APITOKEN=yourapitoken'"

Other optional example parameters are:

-TAGS=["example","foo"] -NODENAME=mynodename -NODEID=1234 -SENDSTATUS=false -TLSSKIPVERIFY=true -UPDATEINTERVAL=10s.
