Hey Jeff,

from what I can see you spawned UDP syslog inputs. Those inputs expect
syslog RFC compliant messages. Do you send such messages from your
script? All 530 messages you sent were rejected as incomplete
(non-compliant).

I suggest you try this: Start a "Raw/Plaintext UDP" input and point
your script to it. Those inputs do not expect any specific format and
just store any text they get until the first newline delimiter (\n). I
am pretty sure this will show the messages. They won't have any
information extracted to fields though. There are several ways to
address that and the easiest might be:

  * Send GELF from your script. It is easy to construct GELF messages
in your favorite language: http://graylog2.org/gelf#libraries
  * Keep sending raw/plaintext messages and use the Graylog2
extractors to extract data to fields.

Thanks for attaching the metrics. This made debugging this really
easy. Awesome! :)

Cheers,
Lennart
