If you have reached this page from my previous article on How to install Graylog2 on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7, you do not have to modify the below init script; just copy and paste content to graylog2 init file.
Create a init script file.
# vi /etc/init.d/graylog2
Place the following content in it, if your graylog-server is installed on different location other than /opt/graylog, modify the GRAYLOGCTL variable.
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: Graylog2
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Starts Graylog2
# Description: Starts Graylog2 using start-stop-daemon
### END INIT INFO

Change the permission of the file.
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/graylog2
Enable the autostart.
# chkconfig --add graylog2 # chkconfig graylog2 on
You can start and stop the graylog service using the following commands.
# service graylog2 start # service graylog2 stop
That’s All!.
