server {
listen 80;
server_name examle.com;

    location / {
    proxy_pass  http://graylog-web-cluster;
    include     /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}

}

upstream graylog-web-cluster {
server 172.16.20.58:9200;

}

Take a look at http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/configuration/web_interface.html and http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/configuration/load_balancers.html for relevant hints.

So in my each node graylog config file, Will i set “web_listen_uri = http://127.0.0.1:9200/” and “rest_listen_uri = http://127.0.0.1:9200/api/”, right ?

No, that means that Graylog will only be reachable on the local machine (127.0.0.1 == localhost).

8

so, in that options, what should i set them?

Set both (rest_listen_uri and web_listen_uri) to the public IP addresses of the systems the respective Graylog instances are running on and configure you load balancer (nginx) to connect to all 3 of them.

Thanks very much for your support.

@Shelin First, please don’t hijack old topics but open a new one for your own issues.
Second, there’s a working nginx configuration in the Graylog documentation: http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/configuration/web_interface.html#nginx
