Hello, I am new to graylog. I have a fortinet fortigate 300E firewall. i have setup the firewall to send the logs to my syslog server (graylog) but am unable to get the messages.

Here is my configuration details in FG300E:

FG300E (setting) # sh full  
config log syslogd setting  
set status enable  
set server “190.250.250.5”  
set mode udp  
set port 514  
set facility syslog  
set source-ip “190.250.250.1”  
set format cef  
end

Now on graylog server, i tried every type of input method but it always failed. Since i am newbie, please advise if i am doing something wrong.

what kind of input did you configure in Graylog and where did you fail exactly?
