From Atlassian JSON to Actionable Audit Insights

Jan 28, 2026 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Atlassian audit logs carry high-value security and operational signals, yet the raw format makes them hard to use in day-to-day investigations. Nested JSON, arrays inside arrays, and localization keys turn routine questions into slow, manual work. For lean Security and IT teams, that friction shows up as delayed triage, fragile dashboards, and alerts that fire without enough context to act.

Taming Atlassian Audit Logs: Processing messy JSON to enable operational insights

Jan 28, 2026 By Graylog In Graylog
Atlassian’s audit records are data-rich, but messy. In this data-driven deep dive, Eddy Gurney from NetScout shares what it took to get them into Graylog. He walks through four pipeline approaches and why each fell short, then shows how moving parsing to the edge with Filebeat unlocked Graylog. With clean, flattened events flowing in, alerts and dashboards turn “noise” into operational visibility. You’ll also see how Sidecars makes config rollout easy, plus what changes to make if you’re on Atlassian Cloud instead of Data Center.

Kubernetes Logging Best Practices

Jan 27, 2026 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
You’re sitting at your desk, typing away, when all of a sudden you hear a “ping!” Unfortunately, you have a browser with fifteen tabs open, a task management application, email, messaging applications, and calendars all open, making it difficult to know exactly which technology just pinged you. To identify the source, you open your system settings and look at the notifications section to see which ones you allow to make a sound.

Introducing The First Graylog Helm Chart Beta V1.0.0

Jan 20, 2026 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Running Graylog on Kubernetes has been possible for a while, but let’s be honest: it usually involved a fair amount of DIY. Custom manifests, duct-taped values files, and more than one late-night kubectl describe pod. That changes today. We’re releasing the first-ever Graylog Helm chart for Kubernetes — now available in beta.

IoT Sensor Data into Graylog: A Lab Guide

Dec 22, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Graylog has always been associated with log management, metrics, SIEM and security monitoring—but it’s also a great tool for creative, low-cost experiments in a home lab. I wanted to use it for real-world sensor data, so I built a DIY temperature and humidity monitor using an ESP-WROOM-32 development board and a DHT22 sensor.

How to Use MCP to Optimize Your Graylog Security Detections

Dec 15, 2025 By The Graylog Product Team In Graylog
Security teams face a critical question: “What logs should we collect, and what detections should we enable to protect against threats targeting our industry?” For a bank in the northeast, this isn’t academic. Threat groups like FIN7, Lazarus Group, and Carbanak specifically target financial institutions with sophisticated attacks ranging from SWIFT compromise to ransomware.

Understanding How a Log Correlation Engine Enables Real-Time Insights

Dec 4, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Tax season is notoriously most people’s least favorite time of year. For people who complete their own tax returns, the process becomes an agonizing one of looking at small pieces of paper, matching numbers to the lines that ask for information, and comparing various inputs. In essence, doing your taxes makes you a correlation engine. Now, imagine taking this tedious process and applying it to the terabytes of data that your environment generates daily.

How to Speed Up Incident Response With Guided Remediation

Nov 18, 2025 By The Graylog Team In Graylog
Most teams picture incident response as a linear sprint from alert to resolution. A notification appears, an analyst pivots across screens, a decision gets made, and the workflow moves on. It works, but it is mechanical, tiring, and fragile. Graylog 7.0 aims for something more impactful. Guided remediation gives analysts clarity during the moments when pressure rises and context usually scatters. It takes raw detection data and turns it into a clear path forward. No theatrics.

What Is a Data Pipeline

Nov 17, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
In today’s tech world, IT and security technologies are the functional equivalent of Pokemon. To gain the insights you need, you “gotta catch ‘em all” by ingesting, correlating, and analyzing as much security data as possible. Data pipelines organize chaotic information flows into structured streams, ensuring that data is reliable, processed, and ready for use.
