Graylog is restarting stuck with disk full

Graylog is restarting...
There is no Graylog web application running at the moment, please reload this page in a minute. It can take up to 1-2 minutes until all services are running properly. In case this is a permanent error, check the following:

Check if all services are running - sudo graylog-ctl status shows an overview of all running services
Check for errors in log files - Relevant services write log files here: /var/log/graylog/*/current
Ask for help - If there is no way to fix the issue ask for help:


I got this error on my Gray-log server, upon troubleshooting I found that the disk was 100% full and was unable to start elastic search mongodb and etcd while checking gray-log server status with command
#graylog-ctl status

Solution to this problem was obvious that I have to clean some disk space to get gray-log working again but what file should I delete was my next thought!

Upon googling I found that I could safely delete the old log files of elastic search to free up the space.

So I stopped gray-log server with

$sudo graylog-ctl stop

My gray-log installation path for elasticsearch logs was at

root@graylog:/var/opt/graylog/data/elasticsearch/graylog/nodes/0/indices#

Listed the files at this path

root@graylog:/var/opt/graylog/data/elasticsearch/graylog/nodes/0/indices# ls -al

drwx------ 7 graylog graylog 4096 Aug 12  2016 graylog_0
drwx------ 7 graylog graylog 4096 Aug  3  2017 graylog_1

I deleted one old log folder "graylog_0" which had consumed disk space of around 5 GB inside it.

root@graylog:/var/opt/graylog/data/elasticsearch/graylog/nodes/0/indices# rm -R graylog_0/

 After deleting the log folder I restarted the graylog server

 root@graylog:~# graylog-ctl start

Now I can access graylog server, all my configuration and dashboards are in place and working good. But I am getting an error for etcd (for clustering of node) of database corruption, a type of file "wal" is not accessible.

Since this is the only of my node and not a cluster configuration, I deleted the etcd folder and reconfigured the graylog server.

Delete the etcd folder here

root@graylog:~#/var/opt/graylog/data/rm -R etcd

root@graylog:~#/var/opt/graylog/data/graylog-ctl reconfigure

Now i can see the working status of all service with graylog as below

root@graylog:/var/opt/graylog/data/etcd/member# graylog-ctl status
run: elasticsearch: (pid 4437) 21s; run: log: (pid 876) 1059s
run: etcd: (pid 4272) 25s; run: log: (pid 891) 1059s
run: graylog-server: (pid 4490) 20s; run: log: (pid 857) 1059s
run: mongodb: (pid 4314) 23s; run: log: (pid 890) 1059s
run: nginx: (pid 4515) 20s; run: log: (pid 856) 1059s

How to import Putty Saved Connections to mRemoteNG

Just started using mRemoteNG and its being very cool to connect to different remote connection with different protocols e.g Window Remote Desktop, VNC to Linux, SSH, HTTP connection etc. from a single application. As new user I configured some remote desktop connection which was quite easy to figure out. But when I wanted to add SSH connections, it came in my mind to import all of the saved connections in the putty. But I couldn't figure it out how can it be done, though it was quite easy and here are the steps. Open your mRemoteNG Create a folder if you want segregation of multiple networks Create a new connection Enter the IP address of remote server under connection in Config pane Under the config pane, select protocol " SSH version 2 ".  Once you select protocol to SSH version 2 you are given option to import putty sessions, as shown in the snap below. In the above snap, I have imported CSR-AWS session from my saved sessions in Putty.

Authoritative DNS Servers Delegation and Internal DNS Explained

DNS (Domain Name System) plays a critical role in how users and systems find resources on the internet or within internal networks. Whether it's managing an internal domain in an enterprise or delegating parts of a domain for traffic distribution, DNS setups vary widely depending on needs. In this blog post, we’ll break down the different types of DNS setups, including authoritative DNS servers, DNS delegation, and how internal DNS functions within organizations. 1. Authoritative DNS Server An Authoritative DNS server is the final source of truth for a specific domain. When someone queries a domain (e.g., example.com ), the authoritative DNS server for that domain holds the DNS records (A records, CNAME, MX, etc.) and responds with the corresponding IP address. Key Points: Who can host it? Authoritative DNS servers are often hosted by domain registrars (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) or cloud DNS providers (e.g., AWS Route 53, Cloudflare). However, organizations can also host their ...

SSL VPN vs IPSec VPN: Understanding the Key Differences

When it comes to securing communication over the internet, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a cornerstone of modern networking. Two popular types of VPNs are SSL VPN and IPSec VPN . While both serve to encrypt and secure data, they differ significantly in terms of technology, use cases, and implementation. This blog post will help you understand these differences and choose the right solution for your needs. What is SSL VPN? An SSL VPN uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS) , to create a secure connection. It operates at the Application Layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model and is designed to provide secure access to specific resources over the internet. Key Features of SSL VPN: Ease of Use: Accessible via a standard web browser without the need for dedicated client software. Granular Access Control: Allows users to access specific applications or resources rather than the entire network. Port Usage: Uses TCP port 443, which is rarely...
