Using GELF with v0.20.0-preview.7?

327 views Asked by At

A couple months ago, I installed Graylog2 v0.13.0-rc.1 successfully along with Logstash 1.2.1 to send logs through the dedicated GELF output. Everything was working nicely.

Today, I've installed Graylog2 v0.20.0-preview.7 but I can't make GELF work. Once started, Graylog does not listen to the port 12201 which is supposed to be the default GELF listening port. I also tried adding the previous config :

use_gelf = true
gelf_listen_address = 0.0.0.0
gelf_listen_port = 12201

...but to no avail.

Is there some kind of different configuration for GELF with the 0.20.0-x versions?

Thanks in advance.
