Well Good morning, good afternoon and good night for everybody. I’m actually trying to launch a small laboratory, to test de log data collection capabillities of graylog. **1. Describe your incident:** When i try to launch a new input it dint work. Its stay in “not running”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/3X/9/9/991ba7d5946f3a72abd367f9513bf79356d9cc19.png) I have the upcoming logs in the server log “/var/log/graylog-server/server.log” ```auto 2024-09-24T16:29:54.100+02:00 WARN [ProxiedResource] Failed to call API on node <43fc93af-eab3-4853-97e9-8a750118f6e1>, cause: timeout (duration: 1001 ms) 2024-09-24T16:29:55.736+02:00 WARN [ProxiedResource] Failed to call API on node <43fc93af-eab3-4853-97e9-8a750118f6e1>, cause: timeout (duration: 5001 ms) 2024-09-24T16:29:55.797+02:00 WARN [ProxiedResource] Failed to call API on node <43fc93af-eab3-4853-97e9-8a750118f6e1>, cause: timeout (duration: 5001 ms) 2024-09-24T16:29:56.098+02:00 WARN [ProxiedResource] Failed to call API on node <43fc93af-eab3-4853-97e9-8a750118f6e1>, cause: timeout (duration: 1001 ms) 2024-09-24T16:29:56.953+02:00 WARN [ProxiedResource] Failed to call API on node <43fc93af-eab3-4853-97e9-8a750118f6e1>, cause: timeout (duration: 5005 ms) ``` At “/var/log/elasticsearch/gc.log” doesn’t apper nothing relevant. And at “/var/log/elasticsearch/graylog.log” doen’t apper nothing relevant to. To add when i go into the web to “system\>nodes” and i click on my node, its show another error: ```auto FetchError: There was an error fetching a resource: Internal Server Error. Additional information: timeout Check your Graylog logs for more information. ``` I was thinking that maybe was the connection with the API, but i try the connection via CLI and it reply well. So i dont understand where is the problem, if anyone can hep. **2. Describe your environment:** - OS Information: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS condename: jammy - Package Version: graylog 6.0.6 elasticsearch 7.17.24 mongodb 6.0.17 **3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?** I review the configurations files of graylog, and elasticsearch, i think i have everything well. The connection between my pc and the machine its good. **4. How can the community help?** I dont found anything that looks like my problem, there is some similar but its no the same, so i dont wont to make a mess. ---

I done it. I’ll explain to the people that don’t know, and just in case i do something wrong. My problem was that the API didn’t connect well with graylog, so i was reviewing the configurations, one time and another, until i notice that i hadn’t wirte in the “server.conf” a parameter that’s neccesary. I had the parameters of the web UI and the bin address with the IP of my machine, but i think this is not good, so i changed to the 0.0.0.0, to make the graylog use all the interfaces and not only the interface with the ip I put. from: http\_bind\_address = 198.168.32.74:9000 to: http\_bind\_address = 0.0.0.0:9000 I did the same with the parameter: http\_publish\_uri = [https://0.0.0.0:9000/](https://0.0.0.0:9000/) And to connect to the web i use the IP of the machine, it’s work well. Finally the parameter that i hadn’t put in the configuration was: rest\_listen\_uri = [http://0.0.0.0:9000/api/](http://0.0.0.0:9000/api/) I wrote it, and the error dissapears, my input work, and i had information of the node. So to sum up, my fail was to not had a the connection with the API configured correctly. I posted this to help another people if they had the same problem as me. Thank you for your time and have a great day. ---
