# Graylog Integration
With the ilert Graylog integration, you can create alerts in ilert based on Graylog alerts.
[Graylog](https://graylog.org) is a sophisticated log management and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that assists teams in addressing security, application, and IT infrastructure issues. It achieves this by providing a platform to combine, enrich, correlate, query, and visualize all your log data in a single location. This centralized approach enhances the efficiency of managing large volumes of log data, which is crucial for monitoring systems, debugging applications, and maintaining security.
With ilert integration for Graylog, you can receive alerts from Graylog via voice, push, SMS, and messenger notifications.
## In ilert: Create a Graylog alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **Graylog**, click its tile, and click **Next**.
3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click **Next**.
4. Choose who gets notified: select **Use existing escalation policy** and pick a policy, or **Generate new escalation policy** to start with a basic one that notifies you first. Click **Next**.
Pick an existing escalation policy, or generate a basic one without leaving the wizard.
5. Select **Default grouping** and click **Continue setup**. It groups events by the alert key the integration sets; the other [grouping options](/alerting/configure-alerting/alert-sources.md#event-grouping) are easier to judge once events are arriving.
6. The next page shows more settings, such as notification priority and alert templates. Click **Finish setup** for now; you can change them later.
7. On the final page, ilert shows the integration key and URL for this alert source. You will need them later in this guide.
## In Graylog: Sending alerts via Graylog
1. In the Topbar click on **Alerts** -> **Notifications** -> **Create notification**.
2. Add a **Title** to the new notification.
3. In the **Notification Type** field choose HTTP Notification and add the previous generated ilert alert source URL into the **URL** field.
4. Optional: Click on **Execute Test Notification** to test the notification.
5. Click on Create notification to save your new notification.
## FAQ
**Will alerts in ilert be resolved automatically?**
Yes, as soon as Graylog sends an event with the key `alert` set to `false`, the associated alert in ilert is resolved.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.ilert.com/integrations/inbound-integrations/graylog.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
