It's not entirely clear what you're asking. SLF4J is a logging API. Log4j and Logback are implementations of that API (Log4j is also a standalone logging framework, of course). Graylog is a log aggregator.
If you want to use SLF4J to send logging to Graylog, you will need an implementation that can somehow send log messages over syslog in Graylog's GELF format. I don't know of any implementation which does that natively, but there are extensions for both Logback and Log4j to do this:
- https://github.com/Moocar/logback-gelf for Logback
- https://github.com/t0xa/gelfj for Log4j

Logback is intended as a successor to the popular log4j project. logback-classic natively implements the SLF4J API.
