# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.ilert.com/~/changes/vPSzQFfkdJCVWGT5AL1m/inbound-integrations/graylog.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
