Your bind address needs to be specific i.e. the IP of the Graylog server HTTP interface.

Hello,

Is it possible to see you whole graylog configuration file?
If you do post it could you use the editor in Markdown.
format-markdown
Thanks :slight_smile:


Just an idea for troubleshooting,
Is Elasticsearch servIce enabled and running correct? Also how about MongDb service?

Hey there @abouhoun , just as a note, the biggest thing that would help here (given that we’re dealing with a log management software) is the logs. Can you upload those as well?

@abouhoun aside from what everyone else also mentioned, please change http_external_uri to http://192.168.5.101 (or whatever IP address you have assigned to your machine)

Please let us know if that works.
