Hey @harishpal2090

To clarify, no log messages are making it into Graylog since the setup of the Cloudtrail input or just the messages you expect from the Input?

Is there nothing within /var/log/graylog-server/server.log that point to a problem?

These logs appear to be filled with the below

> `WARN [CloudtrailSNSNotificationParser] Message is empty. Processing of message has been aborted. Verify that the SQS subscription in AWS is NOT set to send raw data.`

First off, is this true within your sqs config “AWS is NOT set to send raw data”. The message field must contain something for messages to be processed within Graylog, whatever format these messages are arriving in is not one that Graylog recognises.

That’s frustrating, if under ‘System/Logging’ you alter the level to debug and then review the logs again. Does anything jump out?

Debug will be incredibly noisy, only run logging at debug for a couple of minuets.
