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**. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/e/e6fc1e02b2b20403f4d21b33fcc4f2788ab0366f.jpeg) Here the JSon about the related input: > { > > "title": "test\_6f1c06e2-e27c-4c41-a577-bd17f37c3547", > > "global": true, > > "name": "Beats", > > "content\_pack": "5bbb21bd1838ed2ce0d6524e", > > "created\_at": "2018-10-08T09:22:04.207Z", > > "type": "org.graylog.plugins.beats.BeatsInput", > > "creator\_user\_id": "admin", > > "attributes": { > > "recv\_buffer\_size": 1048576, > > "port": 12202, > > "tls\_key\_file": "", > > "tls\_enable": false, > > "tls\_key\_password": "", > > "tcp\_keepalive": false, > > "tls\_client\_auth\_cert\_file": "", > > "tls\_client\_auth": "disabled", > > "override\_source": "", > > "bind\_address": "0.0.0.0", > > "tls\_cert\_file": "" > > }, > > "static\_fields": { > > "ENABLE\_ENRICH": "false", > > "entity\_name": "NONE", > > "tags": "test\_6f1c06e2-e27c-4c41-a577-bd17f37c3547" > > }, > > "node": null, > > "id": "5bbb21bc9fb73040f9349195" > > }, > The port number is **12202** Executing netstat -plnt I can see the result below ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/b/bf637770c2f2961d4eeb7ae7b5198d2a6760bc6d.png) All seems correct, but Graylog give me the error message.

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? Gianluca ---

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 ---
