Logs not showing in web ui

Hi everyone,

I’m having problems with my graylog server. There are no logs being shown as seen in this picture

I did not suspect the ntp of our server since it’s I already configured it already with the correct ntp and time
Time%20config

Plus it’s processing the messages
Metrics

Any help would be great :slight_smile:

Try extending the time range of your search a few hours (let’s say 8 hours) into the future.

Tried your suggestion but still nothing

What type of input are you using (including the complete configuration) and what kind of messages are being sent to that input?
What’s in the logs of your Graylog node?

Currently there are two inputs that are running and both of them are showing the logs but is it processed to elasticsearch.


Is there any problems with our graylog server?

That’s for you to find out by checking the logs of your Graylog and Elasticsearch nodes.
http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/configuration/file_location.html

Sorry @lkenetadmin i dont mean to hijack your post, but we too just discovered, today, that we could not see logs in the “Search” page in one of our graylog server.

current graylog setup:

rsyslog port 514 receives all logs and sends them to the respective graylog inputs which in turn sends it to elasticsearch
( rsyslog, elasticsearch, graylog are all in the same server )

  • Yes, rsyslog is receiving log
  • yes, rsyslog is sending logs to graylog inputs - i can see the docs count in elasticsearch increasing
  • yes, the time stamp is the same timezone (utc), ive even deleted all users just in case. (had this issue before)
  • i can even use the “Show the Elasticsearch query” query graylog web provides in the search page and i can see all logs in the lates index graylog2_55 with the current timestamp
logger "this is dave testing"

As fas as Graylog inputs are concerened, they are all “Syslog - UDP”

rpm -qa "graylog-server"

  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) 
3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64

I can go back in the Search page up to 30 days and see logs…
The last “visible” logs from the gui Search page stop at 2018-04-02.
On that date, we did do our monthly routine OS updates with a reboot, so could be related…maybe?

Im at a lost as to where else to look :frowning_face: I’ve verified the configs as well…

Sorry again @lkenetadmin ! i just happen to see this post in the “Latest” page and thought that maybe i was not the only one…plus we keep things in one location i guess…

I will gladly make another post if that is what is preferred! :smile:

thank you,
dave

My personal issue has been solved!! :smile:

I could not understand why starting 2018-04-02 the logs stop show visibly in the UI.
I thought of perhaps renaming that index ‘graylog2-55’ so that graylog-server can create a new index and see what would happen.

As i looked at
System>Indices>Default Index set>graylog2_55

I noticed this “No index range available”:

I compared it with the current index in the other Graylog-Servers and they said “Range re-calculated 3 hours ago”:

So i recalculated the index ranges and boom! I could see logs in the normal Search page.

@lkenetadmin hopefully you were able to find your solution

thanks!
dave
