Have you observed any errors related to the QNAP input within the applicable log (for example: /var/log/graylog-server/server.log)

no but today i find some log… did not know why

in server.og there is only a lot of message “unable to write audit because no valid license” but cannot find a way to get license for free version

It could be a time discrepancy between the Qnap and the you Graylog server, the logs arrive with a timestamp in the future and so there is a delay in being able to view them. If this is the problem the issue can be fixed within pipelines/rules.

You can request a 2GB license here.

To piggy back on this, I am not familiar with QNAP but I know, from experience, that certain versions of Fortinet OS provide all sorts of headaches with timestamps and format for their alleged RFC5424 compliant syslogs. So for the first couple of hours I wouldn’t receive any logs (I think it was 5 hours) and then I started receiving logs but with a 5 hour offset. I have a pipeline rule that “fixed” that but no longer use it because Fortinet got their act together (until the next “upgrade”)
