I have configured the apache tag in graylog web . created beats input and output .

ideally im supposed to view the logs in /var/log/*.log , which im not able to see in web .

Can you help me out on this

When

http://10.175.184.251:9000/api/

is your Graylog REST API it is very unlikely that you can reach the BEAT Input on that host via

localhost:5044

But that is how this is configured

I changed the beats localhost to IP address in the configuration and it worked . Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Could you please let me know how is it possible to configure multiple logs beat input/output .

For now i have configured for only 1 access log
