Graylog2-server: web_endpoint_uri and rest_transport_uri doesn't work for login screen

[ludekvodicka]

I'm trying to use Graylog from Docker container. In localhost everything works ok. Unfortunately when I'm trying to access to Graylog from outside the localhost there is a problem on login screen.

This is my ur settings:

rest_listen_uri = http://0.0.0.0:9000/api
web_listen_uri = http://0.0.0.0:9000/

rest_transport_uri = http://192.168.0.66:9000/api
web_endpoint_uri = http://192.168.0.66:9000/api

But when I access it from other than the local computer, I get the following error:

Server currently unavailable
We are experiencing problems connecting to the Graylog server running on http://127.0.0.1:9000/api. Please verify that the server is healthy and working correctly.

You will be automatically redirected to the previous page once we can connect to the server.

Do you need a hand? We can help you.

and here are console errors: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11355235/ShareX/2017/01/2017-01-11_10-23-17.png

Expected Behavior

I believe that rest_transport_uri and web_endpoint_uri should also configure a login screen. Without that it's not possible to use Graylog in Docker outside the local computer.

Your Environment

Latest Docker (on Win10 and also on Ubuntu with same results).

• Graylog Version: graylog2/server:2.1.0-3
• Elasticsearch Version: "elasticsearch:2"
• MongoDB Version: "mongo:3"
• Operating System: Win10 and Ubuntu
• Browser version: Chrome and Internet Explorer

@ludekvodicka Please upgrade to the latest stable version of Graylog (which is Graylog 2.1.2 at the time of writing) and check if the problem still occurs.

Also, how exactly did you configure these settings?

[ludekvodicka]

Just tried it and unfortunately it's still the same.

I tried it on latest docker image 2.1.2+50e449a

Ok, My bad ;-(

Just figured it out that when I copy&pasted docker-compose file for graylog. I completely overlooked GRAYLOG_WEB_ENDPOINT_URI environment settings. Now it's working like expected. Thank you for your answer which point me to solution ;-)

graylog:

@ludekvodicka how could something like this help you? webinterface tries to connect to http://127.0.0.1:9000/api so it's obviously won't work for me, because server is running in AWS

@holms try to configure a proxy and open it on your elastic IP or the public IP

probably this was docker-swarm issue it's running now fine. somehow next morning graylog web interface loaded without any problems, probably some container been stuck or smtng. Here's config with traefik in case anyone is interested: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45725128/how-to-make-traefik-work-with-graylog2

@ludekvodicka I am having the same issue, how exactly did you fix it?

[BrijToSuccess]

what did you set graylog_web_endpoint_uri to?

[phuongdh]

@BrijToSuccess You set it to the actual hostname and port, e.g. mydomain.com:1234, instead of the default 127.0.0.1:9000
