Thanks for the additional info. I should have been more clear, I currently have apache setup and working. At the moment, it seems to work okay. As you suspected, the usage is just to pass everything through to graylog and utilize the proxy for https requests. Since I really don't have any experience with nginx, your response made me curious if there was a compelling reason to switch. You mention nginx is faster but do you think that will affect a handful of folks logging in and using the web interface? I would be curious to see some data if any was available as it relates to graylog.
Initially, I went the route of setting up the TLS config just with graylog and while that did work, I found I still wanted to setup redirection from http => https and from a short hostname to a FQDN. Apache allowed me to configure that pretty easily too. Maybe the next time I will use nginx to try it out.
