I have already sent logs via NXlog to Graylog2 successfully. But both, NXlog and Graylog2 run on the same Server. Now i want to send logs from another Server via NXlog to Graylog2, but ist not working at all. Can you help me out pls? This is my NXlog configuration:
User i_cdp

I have opened Port 12009 for a connection between the server with Nxlog and the Server with Graylog2. Then I configured an Input on the Graylog-Gui: Input(GELF UDP on Port 12009) But wehen i check the connection, I only get:
[i_cdp@bsul0850 etc]$ ssh -vvv bsul0959 -p 12009
OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to bsul0959 [10.41.66.84] port 12009.
debug1: connect to address 10.41.66.84 port 12009: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host bsul0959 port 12009: Connection refused
It says, refused. So there is kind of a connection because I don't get a timeout or something like that, am I right? The Graylog server just doesn't accept connection. So, what's wrong with my configuration? Graylog doesn't receive anything.
Thank you in advance :)
