I uninstalled and reinstalled sidecar and left the portnumber at 12900. For some reason I wanted it to be the same port number as gelf input of 12201. I wanted a fresh config and everything else, and it appears to be all working properly now. Thanks so much for the help everyone. It's most appreciated. I love GrayLog and what it can provide. This project has come along way over the last few years since I have seen it last. Keep up the great work. :)
