Graylog2 Upstart Jobs

README.md

#Graylog2 Upstart

A basic set of Upstart jobs to get Graylog2 up and running quickly. Assumes MongoDB and Graylog2 installed in /opt/. Tested on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, MongoDB 2.0.0, graylog2-server-0.9.5p1, and graylog2-web-interface-0.9.5p2.

#Usage

Place job definitions in /etc/init/ and then use service [job] [command] to start/stop/restart/status the services manually. On boot, the services flow into each other, only starting if dependent services have started. For more on controlling jobs or Upstart in general (a replacement for System-V init), see the cookbook.

Nice work on this. It's going in my cookbook (https://github.com/cramerdev/cookbooks/blob/master/graylog2/) I like Supervisor for some jobs, but you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find good initscripts these days.

Thanks and glad I can help. Wrapping my head around and actually learning Upstart was long on my bucket list so I killed two birds with one stone in using it to run Graylog2.

Thank you very much for writing this. I ended up not using the one for MongoDB because the default installation directory was different and Mongo comes with its own upstart script. However, the other 2 seem to work perfectly!
