SUMMARY

Is it possible to e send tower log to graylog without using logstash ? Looks like its possible to pass tower log to gelf using payload, refer link : http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/gelf.html which says with the help of payload any graylog-server node accepts and stores this as a message. So can this be candidate for RFE ?
