Configuration for GELF HTTP input

[CoMaDaniel]

Hello.

I apologize in advance if this is a noob question, I'm fairly new at this.

Long story short, I have managed to deploy Graylog in a self managed K8s cluster, everything works pretty well. I am facing an issue right now: as per requirements, I need to send logs via HTTP from outside the cluster on port 443. My idea was using an Ingress that will route the incoming traffic from myIngressHost port 443 to my GELF HTTP on port 12201, let's say. I tried configuring the Ingress to use a secret and set the endpoint to myGraylogMasterService port 12201. I have started the input in the UI. Alas, I get Connection Refused. I looked into configuring the input via the helm chart, as it is required, but I only find examples of TCP or UDP inputs. Using those toghether with ingress does not seem (easily) possible. How should the helm chart be deployed so I can use GELF HTTP input? Thanks for the responses and sorry again for the noob question.

The HTTP uses TCP to transmit data. So you can GELF HTTP Input on input.tcp. For example:

  input:
    tcp:
      service:
        type: LoadBalancer
        externalTrafficPolicy: Local
      ports:
        - name: gelf1
          port: 12221

This will create another Load Balancer with port 12221 and you can use this Load Balancer for your GELF HTTP input

Thank you very much for the reply. I will try it, seems logical enough.

Have a great day
