How To Install python-graypy on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction

What is python-graypy
python-graypy is:
This package can be used to sent messages to Graylog2 using a custom handler for the builtin logging library in the Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF).
Alternately, GELFRabbitHandler can be used to send messages to RabbitMQ. Your Graylog2 server needs to be configured to consume messages via AMQP then. This prevents log messages from being lost due to dropped UDP packets (GELFHandler sends messages to Graylog2 using UDP). You will need to configure RabbitMQ with a ‘gelf_log’ queue and bind it to the ’logging.gelf’ exchange so messages are properly routed to a queue that can be consumed by Graylog2 (the queue and exchange names may be customized to your liking).
graypy can be easily integrated into Django’s logging settings.
This is the Python 2 version of the package.
