Hi Guys, Since I am pretty novice I am trying to import Nginx content pack from marketplace but it fails to start stating this error. While my other content pack and Input is working properly. Can someone pls help An input has failed to start (triggered a minute ago) Input 597ef9b3287a8d031d4cef5b has failed to start on node 6d133f7f-9b63-4a0b-ac6b-17ffa3626647 for this reason: »Address already in use.«. This means that you are unable to receive any messages from this input. This is mostly an indication for a misconfiguration or an error. You can click here to solve this. ---

There’s already another input running on the same network interface and port. You need to stop or delete the other input first. ---

This is defintely not the case; I checked that 1000 times and nothing is listening on that port or IP Here is the output before starting ```auto # ss -uln State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port UNCONN 0 0 :::5353 ``` Here is later. ```auto ss -uln State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port UNCONN 0 0 :::12301 :::* UNCONN 0 0 :::12302 :::* UNCONN 0 0 :::5353 ``` Where I could I see the details logs to troubleshoot the issue? ---

You didn’t tell us _which content pack_ you’ve downloaded and imported. Also, you didn’t tell us what inputs there are in your Graylog setup and what’s their configuration. ---
