First of all thank you for the quick reply!
I have set an output with the type gelf udp output, the server ip as 
0.0.0.0 and port 514.
I have also set an input with the type file input and the path being 
/var/log/auth.log and the poll interval 1.
When I go to the collector and click show messages I still don't have 
anything, and yes I have updated the tag. Everything I'm using this one is 
ubuntu 16.04 by the way.
Been struggling with this since Thursday and I didn't manage to get any 
workaround so any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
