Hello && Welcome @holiveir

I might be able to help. This could be a couple of different solution.

We would need to know the following:

  • Show the configuration on the input used.

  • Date/Time are correct. Located under System/Overview → Time configuration

  • What do you see in the log files that may pertain to this issue (i.e. Elasticsearch, MongoDb, Graylog, etc…)

  • Have you tried a different type of input, for example Syslog UDP?

  • Is this a fresh install?

  • Are there any extractors or pipeline running on this INPUT?

Hi @gsmith, it was the Date/Time that was not sync between user, system and web browser. I receive logs normally now. Thanks for your input, it helped me to do some more specific research and troubleshooting.
