Graylog SMS notifications – integration manual

Here we describe how to send Graylog SMS notifications and alerts using SMSEagle Hardware SMS Gateway.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.

Setup is easy and should take 5min to complete. See also a short integration tutorial available in Graylog community portal.
