GELF HTTP is not getting messages

[aragon (Argon)]

Hi folks,
I have installed Graylog using a docker compose file.

version: '3.2'

services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:6.8.2
    ports:
      - "9200:9200"
    environment:
      ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    networks:
      - graylog

  mongo:
    image: mongo:4.0
    networks:
      - graylog

  graylog:
    image: graylog/graylog:3.1
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
      - "12201:12201/udp"
      - "1514:1514"
    environment:
      GRAYLOG_HTTP_EXTERNAL_URI: "http://my-server-ip:9000/"
    networks:
      - graylog
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch
      - mongo

networks:
  graylog:
    driver: bridge

I’m facing an issue when I run a curl command.
curl -X POST -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d ‘{ “version”: “1.1”, “host”: “test.com”, “short_message”: “A short message”, “level”: 5, “_some_info”: “foo” }’ 'http://my-server-ip:12201/gelf

Error which I’m getting is
curl: (7) Failed to connect to my-server-ip port 12201: Connection refused.

I have 2 inputs running in my Graylog server.

I have searched similar issues in the community. But it didn’t solve my issue.
I’m I missing something or is there any issue in configuration?

you are missing some minimal configuration settings in your Graylog environment variables …

But the questin is, did you want to ingest via http or via UDP?

[aragon (Argon)]

I would like to use http instead of UDP. I got messages from UDP input connection. Do I need to add something ?

[jan (Jan Doberstein)]

if you like to have http on the configured port you should not only forward UDP in your docker configuration …
