New LNLS Instance not accepting logs

Post by Envera IT »

I could really use some help here. I'm spinning up a new NLS instance and I' not able to get any logs to show up from any devices. When I look at tcpdump I see logs hitting the server, I see java listening on the ports, and I'm taking known working inputs and filters from an old instance to the new instance but nothing comes in. I made the modification to listen on privledged ports (but the ports I'm listening on are above 1024 so shouldn't be an issue). What info do you guys need from me?

Which ports are you having issues listening on? Have you opened the appropriate ports on your firewall?

It may be a good test to temporarily turn off the NLS firewall to ensure that it's not interfering.

Code: Select all

service iptables stop 
-or-

Code: Select all

systemctl stop firewalld
