Graylog Collector for CentOS 6?

[ludakhris]

I couldn't locate a collector RPM for Cent OS 6 is there one available?

[joschi]

We currently only provide official Graylog Collector packages for CentOS 7 (see http://docs.graylog.org/en/1.1/pages/collector.html#operating-system-packages) but we'll think about supporting other Linux distributions as well if there's some demand for it.

Is there a way I can compile or create a centos 6 version of the collector?

@ludakhris You can simply install it manually. See http://docs.graylog.org/en/1.1/pages/collector.html#manual-setup for details.

@ludakhris We will create a OS package for CentOS 6 soon.

I would also like to see an official centos6 rpm/repo for the collector.

Looks like the recipes already has CentOS 6 support but it's commented out. I also see Docker support for it. Is it just broken or can we use fpm to build the package manually?

[longwa]

Ok, I was able to build a usable package for CentOS 6 using their vagrant/docker instructions with the modifications in this fork (https://github.com/longwa/fpm-recipes).

The main issue was that the fpm recipe is missing a proper init.d script for CentOS and proper post-install scripts. I added a pretty generic (and probably not the greatest) init.d/graylog-collector that seems to work fine for me on 6.7.

After you install, you will need to create a working config in /etc/graylog/collector/collector.conf before the service will start.

You can download my CentOS 6 RPM here until they create proper support:

@longwa Awesome! Feel free to file a pull request for CentOS 6 support in this repository.

What do you think abut Amazon Linux AMI support ?

[alankis]

What is estimated time when collector for CentOS 6 will be avaliable? Thanks

[joschi]

@alankis There's no planned release date of the CentOS 6 packages for the Graylog Collector. In the meantime you can use the third-party package built by @longwa.

+1 to have a supported CentOS 6 package for the collector!

[mlandewers]

+1 For a CentOS 6 collector package

The collector is deprecated in favor of the collector-sidecar. I am closing this.
