All,
I am new to Graylog and i am not able to send the logs to Graylog UI.
I am running Graylog, Elastic search and Mongo DB on the same server. I have the UI running in the same server as well.
I was able to access the UI successfully and was able to create the Input successfully, as syslog UDP via port 5140. I used my server IP (x.x.x.x) as the bind address.
But i dont see any messages flowing into graylog.
I added the below in the syslog-ng.conf and restarted it:
destination d\_NET { udp(“x.x.x.x” port(5140)); };
log { source(s\_syslog); destination(d\_NET); };
Please let me know, what i am missing here. Any help would be appreciated.
Graylog logs:

Mongo DB:

Graylog 3.1.
Commands used:
rpm -Uvh [https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/packages/graylog-3.1-repository\_latest.rpm](https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/packages/graylog-3.1-repository_latest.rpm)
yum install graylog-server

as you use udp - you need to check. Could you send a log message via shell direct to graylog and check if that arrived. If not, check firewall or similar.

whether both hosts are in the same network?
do you see any packets in tcpdump?
check the output of `lsof -Pni :5140`
