Hi all,
I’m totally new to Graylog, Rsyslog and Elasticsearch. So I’ve set up Graylog as per the guide http://docs.graylog.org and I can log in fine, no issuse on the server. Version are:
Host - Ubuntu 18.04
Graylog - 3.0.0-12
Java - 1.8.0_191
Elasticsearch - 6.6.1"
MongoDB - 4.0.6
I’m using Rsyslog to send the logs from a Ubuntu 18.04 server to Graylog.
So I followed Sending syslog from Linux systems into Graylog and created a conf file -
graylog_syslog.conf in /etc/rsyslog.d/ and added . @172.24.228.161:514;RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format to it and restarted rsyslog. Checking the Status it get:
sudo service rsyslog status

I added n the Graylog server I added a new input as ‘Syslog UDP’, giving it a title and left everything as default. But is shows up as failed.
So I added the server IP the the Bind setting and the status changed to ‘Not running’
Checking the Graylog logs I get
I’m don’t know what is getting permission dined. Could any one point me in the right direction.
Thanks
