I want to send log to graylog installed by docker in my local network  
i can get for example this url output [http://10.0.2.106:9000/api/api-docs](http://10.0.2.106:9000/api/api-docs)  
so i can connect to graylog via http  
I made HTTP Api in System/Inputs  
I try to send data with postman  
I Use Authentication Basic with my admin user And password  
using post with this [http://10.0.2.106:9000/api/](http://10.0.2.106:9000/api/)  
but whatever i do i get this response  
{  
“type”: “ApiError”,  
“message”: “HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed”  
}  
is there any documentation to send data via restapi?

Hello @Welcome @alireza

By chance are you testing this out with Graylogs API Browswer?

> thank you for your response. I use docker-compose as it said on graylog websit with mongodb and elasticsearch and graylog inside it . I added the network as you said mode for graylog part but it could not connect to mongodb and elasticsearch so it didnt work , I uploaded my docker-compose .
