After you go into Search, try changing the time to Search all messages, and then clicking the Green Search button:

Or you can go to your Inputs and click Show received messages. That should show you all messages on the Input you believe is receiving messages.

Hello Zack,  
sorry for my english i will try to explain in french…

comme je le disais les message arrivent bien je vois des input et des output. mais lors des recherches aucun message trouvé. il n y a aucune erreur dans les log graylog et aucune erreur dans les log elasticsearch. mes index etaient configurés sur 14Jours et 27 cycle. j’ai volontairement reduit la duré a 1 Heure et miracle quelques minutes plus tard les message sont bien trouvés lors de recherches. J’ai l’impression que de le forcer a refaire un nouveau cycle d’index a corrigé l probleme. maintenant que cela fonctionne j’ai repassé mes index a 14Jours et 27 cycle pour avoir une retention totale de 365 jours minimum

If Google translate is correct. It sounds like you fixed the problem by re-indexing. Hope that’s the case. Thank you, Zach.
