3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?
I have tried to reboot with no luck. When i visit http://hostname:9000 i just see the graylog login screen. I belive i shouldn’t see this yet since i need to run preflight?
4. How can the community help?
Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appriciated.
