Graylog not reading/picking up Logs

Hi,

I’m currently attempting to get Graylog working and see what I can get out of it in terms of logs. However I’m experiencing some issues with logs not being read and/or parsed by Graylog. I know that data is definitely being sent to my Graylog server on port 5414:

$# tcpdump -i eth0 port 5414 -nn
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

However, my Graylog does not seem to want to parse or pick up the data which is arriving:

Does anyone have any suggestions where I should be looking?
Thanks,

  • did you send GELF messages over the wire?
  • did you checked the graylog server.log?
