Is there a way to send an entire log file with an inconsistent format to Graylog's web interface as the message field using Fluentd?

Regarding Graylog, it does not require any specific log format. A pattern is needed only if you want to parse it and separate the fields for easy querying and statistics.

Based on the Fluentd plugins page there is this plugin named Fluentd GELF output that is able to format and output Fluentd logs to Graylog.

I am not really into Fluentd therefore I cannot give you much details about the configuration of such plugin. But based on the README of the project it seems straight forward.
