All my sidecars say unknown. Sidecar user not logged in.

3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?

I restored the mongodump from the 4.x environment and everything seems to be working but the sidecars. All the sidecar endpoints are logging but the sidecars aren’t connected where I can manage them.

You could try generating a new API token and applying that to one of the sidecar configs and see if it starts up again.

A new token worked. I added it to all the endpoints. Would be interesting to know why the old one stopped working but not necessary.

Thanks a million.

This could be a cert issue. Are you using a cert for your graylog server? If so, did you put it in the truststore after the update?

Only with nginx to do the reverse proxy. I haven’t specifically put anything within GL itself.
