I have my NXlog server successfully receiving rsyslog messages from client Linux boxes. Now I'm trying to have NXlog forward those messages to my Graylog server using GELF. NXlog and Graylog are both running on CentOS 7 If anyone can point me in the right direction config file wise I'd be greatly appreciative.

I am attempting to use NXLog in conjunction with Graylog's Sidecar Collector to send data to my Graylog server. I have been able to successfully telnet to my Graylog server through port 5044, so I know it is not a firewall issue, yet I keep getting these errors in my NXLog error log: 2017-11-08 14:37:09 ERROR om_tcp detected a connection error;Connection reset by peer 2017-11-08 14:37:25 ERROR om_tcp detected a connection error;End of file found And nothing is being received by my Graylog server. Here is my generated NXLog configuration: define ROOT /usr/bin <Extension gelf> Module xm_gelf </Extension> User nxlog Group nxlog Moduledir /usr/libexec/nxlog/modules CacheDir /var/spool/collector-sidecar/nxlog PidFile /var/run/graylog/collector-sidecar/nxlog.pid define LOGFILE /var/log/graylog/collector-sidecar/nxlog.log LogFile %LOGFILE% LogLevel DEBUG <Extension logrotate> Module xm_fileop <Schedule> When @daily Exec file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 7); </Schedule> </Extension> <Input 59fcda86ccba8e2573422cb4> Module im_file File '/var/log/httpd/syriac_access_log' PollInterval 1 SavePos True ReadFromLast True Recursive True RenameCheck False Exec $FileName = file_name(); # Send file name with each message </Input> <Output 59fcda56ccba8e2573422c80> Module om_tcp Host graylog.library.vanderbilt.edu Port 5044 OutputType GELF_TCP Exec $short_message = $raw_event; # Avoids truncation of the short_message field. Exec $gl2_source_collector = '485f3ca7-ca1e-4959-be00-117a50e2b1db'; Exec $collector_node_id = 'graylog-collector-sidecar'; Exec $Hostname = hostname_fqdn(); </Output> <Route route-0> Path 59fcda86ccba8e2573422cb4 => 59fcda56ccba8e2573422c80 </Route> I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you!
