Hello,

I'm having a problem getting OSSEC to send logs to a Graylog server and I'm 
hoping someone can offer some advice.  I followed the instructions on these 
pages

https://marketplace.graylog.org/addons/025e1992-8acb-4e37-8434-2785081bf977
http://ossec-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/output/syslog-output.html

Setup:
Graylog 2.1 standalone CentOS 6 server with CEP UDP input listening on 5141
Graylog CEF input plugin 1.1 installed on the server
OSSEC 2.8.3 client on CentOS 6

There are no firewalls between these servers, and I have also verified the 
client can reach port 5141 on the server using both TCP or UDP.  A tcpdump 
verifies this using netcat.

On the OSSEC client, I have installed it as a 'local' install and added 
this to the /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf file

  <syslog_output>
    <server>172.31.1.1</server>
    <port>5141</port>
    <format>cef</format>
  </syslog_output>

Restarted the Graylog server service and the OSSEC client service.  Then, 
on the OSSEC client

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control enable client-syslog
/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart

>From that point, OSSEC appears to be working.  I get various email alerts 
that I expect.  But I never see anything show up in Graylog.  A tcpdump 
shows no traffic ever making it to the graylog server either.  I assume I 
would see this type of log entry

INFO: Forwarding alerts via syslog to: ’172.31.1.1:5141′

But I never do.

Have I missed a step somewhere?  Would appreciate some advice. 

Thanks,
Jay
