The next version of Graylog2 (0.9.6) will no longer include hostgroups. Let me explain why: You can now build hostgroups using streams since there is a hostname regex matcher rule. The difference is that you are more flexible because of all the other stream filters available. Keeping the hostgroups alive would basically mean having a duplicated feature with less flexibility.
Suggestions or feedback on the mailing list or in the comments of this post.
I am currently working on this new Graylog2 feature. (Screenshot shows the very early stage and is pretty ugly) You will be able to define rules on a time axis that trigger an event. You can define actions (like executing a script, sending an email, …) for whenever an event or a number of events are triggered. Also expect some fancy graphs going far into the history which are perfect for
This will require some Java and Rails hacking in the next time and I am not sure yet if this will make it into the 0.9.6 release or not. Let me know about your thoughts, ideas and suggestions!
I am also very interested in what kind of events you would like to set up.
