Inputs Demystified - Connect Anything with the Input Wizard Webinar

Getting logs into Graylog should not require a PhD in syslog. Part of the Getting the Most out of Graylog Open series, this session educates Open users on the full Inputs framework in Open, what input types are available, when to use each, and how to use the Input Wizard to get new sources connected faster. Open users need to be on the latest version of Graylog. We also cover the revamped Inputs page and how to validate that your data is arriving clean.
