Hi guys, I am really new to Graylog. I have read a lot of the topics on this forum to look for an answer but couldn’t find one. I recently installed Graylog instance on Openstack for a project. I sent syslogs to this instance on port 514. Below are the screenshots of my inputs. I am also attaching configuration of my /etc/rsyslog.conf file. ![inputs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/5/50101abb5847574e1904e308a6c968808943fa79.png) ![file_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/0/0385f96408023e4f666ad617ed15416c8090ab84.png) ![file_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/f/f22817f84af7e7ae2d597aa6765ec4f5efe8c393.png) I have been at it for a while and haven’t been able to find any solutions. Please let me know if there is any information that I missed. Netstat shows that Graylog is listening on port 514. ![netstat](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/a/a82e0e32b83afb36543f3cab9cbdcfb9be233ac1.png) Also, tcpdump on the interface and port 514 does not show anything! Please help. ---

you have opened Port **4000** with UDP Syslog input in Graylog, but your rsyslog forward the messages to Port **514**. Change rsyslog to forward to Port **4000** and you will receive messages. In addition you should not use TCP and UDP as forward - one is enough. ---

“DPT=1947” means it’s being blocked on that port. If it’s a message you want to receive you’ll need to allow access in ufw I believe ---
