I can see my rsyslog client is sending logs to the graylog2 server (docker setup), but I cant seem to see any sign graylog is seeing any logs what so ever. Searching for “ERROR” produces no results.

Firewall rules look ok?

I followed the quickstart guide as follows,

```auto
$ docker run --name mongo -d mongo:3
$ docker run --name elasticsearch \
    -e "http.host=0.0.0.0" -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" \
    -d docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.5.1
$ docker run --link mongo --link elasticsearch \
    -p 9000:9000 -p 12201:12201 -p 514:514 \
    -e GRAYLOG_WEB_ENDPOINT_URI="http://127.0.0.1:9000/api" \
    -d graylog/graylog:2.3.0-1

```

I think the setup is only listening on ipv6?

```auto
root@ubuntu16-host1:/etc/sysctl.d# netstat -peanut |grep 514
tcp6 0 0 :::514 :::* LISTEN 0 31990 4812/docker-proxy
root@ubuntu16-host1:/etc/sysctl.d#

```

rsyslog is unaltered except for sending to remote host on last line via tcp. The client is sending I can see it doing so in iptraf-ng.

No idea on what’s configured in syslog input, its as installed. Nothing in the quickstart guide to say I need to do anything I can see.
