Hello,  
I am a beginner in Graylog and I choose it to monitor docker container logs using gelf logging driver. To do that I created a gelf UDP input in Graylog web interface and I mentioned gelf as a log driver inside my docker-compose file. After starting the gelf udp input any log messege is sent from the container to Graylog input, so can you explain to me how can I fix this issue. Below my setup environment :

**OS** : debian 10  
**Docker version** : 20.10.3  
**Graylog** compose file : [Docker — Graylog 3.3.8 documentation](https://docs.graylog.org/en/3.3/pages/installation/docker.html)  
**My container compose file** :

```
    ...
    logging: 
       driver: "gelf"
       options: 
            gelf-address: "udp://graylog:12201"
            tag: myContainer

```

**Input** :

**NB: My container is running behind nginx reverse proxy.**

Regards!
