I have requirement to setup graylog and elasticsearch on windows.
Version: 2.3.2
Running Graylog on Windows is not supported, see System Requirements.
If you absolutely have to run Graylog on a Windows-based system, you have to use the virtual appliance (OVA) and run it in HyperV/VMWare/VirtualBox.
See Virtual Machine Appliances for details.

We have a windows server that has zabbix agent installed.
Recently we installed multiple apache tomcat 7 websites running in different ports and need to monitor the number of active threads, response time, etc. I need suggestions to retrieve the values.
I found this documentation on Zabbix official website!
It might be helpful.
After checking on kudu official website, i got some instructions to download kudu virtualbox image and install vm. But that repository is no more available.
Is there any other way to get Kudu quickstart vm?
Finally, i done it in easiest way!!!
I created ec2 instance from "Cloudera Quickstart VM" ami available in community AMIs. Cloudera quickstart vm provides many preinstalled hadoop services which can be managed using single admin panel.
Kudu is not default service available in it. But can be added with some easy steps given in this document:

can i install elasticsearch on linux in order to run on it queries, for logs that are created on Windows servers?
My application runs on windows server, but in order to save money i want to run elasticsearch on linux, it should receive the log files from windows servers.
Kibana should run lo on linux.
You can run both on any system, both communicate via HTTP and are system agnostic.
I am new to Elasticsearch and logstash. I wanted to know if there's a way to get windows event logs of remote systems which login to my server(which has logstash) where the windows systems don't have any logpusher software on them.
Thanks in Advance!
Can packetbeat is used to monitor the tomcat server logs and windows logs?? or it will only monitor the database i.e., network monitoring?
Packetbeat only does network monitoring. But you can use it together with Logstash or Logstash-Forwarder to get visibility also into your logs.
It will do only network monitoring. you can use ELK for tomcat server logs.
#tsg is correct but now with the Beats 1.x release they are deprecating Logstash Forwarder in lieu of another Beat called Filebeat. Also they added Topbeat, which allows you to monitor server load and processes in your cluster.
See:
* https://www.elastic.co/blog/beats-1-0-0
You will likely want to install the package repo for your OS, then install each with:
{package manager cmd} install packetbeat
{package manager cmd} install topbeat
{package manager cmd} install filebeat
They each are installed in common directories. For example with Ubuntu (Linux) the config files are in /etc/<beat name>/<beat name>.yml where beat name is one of the 3 above. Each file are similar and you can disable the direct ES export and instead export to Logstash (comment ES and uncomment Logstash) and then add a beats import in your Logstash config. From thereon, Logstash listens for any beats over that port and can redistribute (or queue) using the [#metadata][beat] param to tell where it came from.
Libbeat also provides a framework to build your own so you can send any data you want to Logstash and it can queue and/or index. ;-)
Packetbeat is used mainly for network analysis . It currently supports following protocols :
ICMP (v4 and v6)
DNS
HTTP
Mysql
PostgreSQL
Redis
Thrift-RPC
MongoDB
Memcache
However , for visualizing tomcat logs you can configure them to use log4j and then configure logstash to take input from log4j and then using elasticsearch and kibana to visualise the logs.
To monitor windows logs you can use another beats platform Winlogbeat.
