Hi Ovidiu,

a) why is it not respecting this setting though: web_listen_uri = 
> http://edgar.ict-consult.co.za/

Graylog expects this setting (and rest_listen_uri and rest_transport_uri, 
too) to be a fully qualified URL, otherwise it's using 12900 as default 
port.

If you really want to use unencrypted (!) HTTP for your web interface, you 
can use the following configuration setting:

web_listen_uri = http://edgar.ict-consult.co.za:80/


Also keep in mind, that only privileged system users (i. e. root) is 
allowed to bind to ports <1024, so you'll need to use something like 
authbind to allow Graylog to bind directly to port 80/tcp.

That depends on whether that URL is publicly accessible via an untrusted 
network (i. e. the Internet) or not. While the Graylog REST API a requires 
valid user account for almost everything you can do with it, it seems to be 
unencrypted the way you've configured Graylog.


Cheers,
