Graylog Self-Test

Just noticed it this evening when setting up the new Graylog 1.0.1

• Log into your Graylog instance as an admin user
• Select System > Inputs
• Select "Random HTTP Message Generator" and launch the input
• Tweak it how you like it, save settings

Now, perform a * (all) search over the past 5 minutes. You should see a good number of messages being generated. Looks to be a good way to confirm that all of the moving parts to your Graylog setup are functional[1]

[1] well, unless you missed all the crashing console messages, that is.
