Graylog plugin for Matomo

Required Graylog version: 2.4.4 and later

Use cases

  • Forward http logs from multiple reverse proxy servers to central Graylog and send them Matomo (former Piwik). Example: All http logs from nginx reverse proxy servers are forwarded into central Graylog location for initial analysis and basic tracking. See https://github.com/makeITyourway/graylog2_nginx_acecss.log_json project how to send nginx to graylog

  • Use Graylog as a filter before Matomo tracker. Forward only interesting items to Matomo.

Installation

Download the plugin and place the .jar file in your Graylog plugin directory. The plugin directory is the plugins/ folder relative from your graylog-server directory by default and can be configured in your graylog.conf file.

Restart graylog-server and you are done.

Usage

Configuring Graylog

In Graylog, go to the outputs configuration of a stream and add a new "Matomo output" like this:

All messages coming into that stream should now be forwarded to your Matomo setup in realtime. See https://matomo.org/faq/general/faq_114/ how to get an api token.

Build

This project is using Maven and requires Java 8 or higher.

You can build a plugin (JAR) with mvn package.

DEB and RPM packages can be build with mvn jdeb:jdeb and mvn rpm:rpm respectively.

Plugin Release

We are using the maven release plugin:

$ mvn release:prepare
[...]
$ mvn release:perform

This sets the version numbers, creates a tag and pushes to GitHub. TravisCI will build the release artifacts and upload to GitHub automatically.
