ReST input creation: Address already in use

Hi,
I’m using Graylog OVA 2.4.3 and when I try to create Input using ReST, Graylog shows the created Inputs marked as Failed: The message that I see is: Address already in use.

Here the JSon about the related input:

},

"node": null,

"id": "5bbb21bc9fb73040f9349195"

},
The port number is 12202

Executing netstat -plnt I can see the result below

All seems correct, but Graylog give me the error message.
Looking the log file we can see the stack trace:

If I restart Graylog the Input become valid, without changes!!
Is there something that I can do to fix this problem?

Why at the first time, Graylog say me that the input is not valid but after restarting the server, the input become good?

Have you tried if that is happening with the latest stable release too?

(2.4.6 at time of writing)

Hi @jan
currently I cannot upgrade my Graylog env to the last version (2.4.6).
So I can not give you an answer

Any suggestions to understand what happened?

Hi @jan
I update the env to the latest version (v 2.4.6) and I have the same problem.

Do you have any suggestions?
