Graylog 3.0 Sidecar

Graylog Central (peer support)
1

Hello All,

I’m testing Graylog 3.0 in my environment, everything seems to work so far, no problems yet. I decided to use Graylog sidecar for the first time and it was easy to configure on the remote client. I was able to see my remote host appear as shown below:
001-version

Under “Manage Configuration” worked good also, no problem:
002-managment

My question is about “Sidecars Overview” its blank. Not sure what I did wrong. I am receiving message from my remote client. I was able to configure NXLog from Graylogs GUI without any problems.

Following is what I see. Any help would be appreciated…

Sidecars Overview:

Collector Administrator page is also blank:

Environment:
Graylog-Server as follow;
CentOS7 Virtual machine on Windows Hyper-V
Graylog 3.0.0-rc.1+f41986c
Elasticsearch-6.6.0-1.noarch
Mongodb-org-4.0.5-1.el7.x86_64

Remote machine sending log to Graylog server as follow;
CentOS7 Virtual machine on Windows Hyper-V
NXLog installed

Install the following;
rpm -i https://github.com/Graylog2/collector-sidecar/releases/download/0.1.6/collector-sidecar-0.1.6-1.x86_64.rpm

graylog-collector-sidecar -service install

two notes on that:

  • you need to use sidcar later than your selected version (0.1.7 minimal)
  • why did you use the legacy version with 3.0? This will be abonned and removed in the near future. Go with the new!

Is there a way to disable the legacy system? I do not want old Collector Sidecars to register themselves again, but I cannot seem to find anything in the settings to turn off the legacy sidecar connections.
