First, you will want to configure a GELF TCP input on your Graylog server.

Head over to your Graylog admin panel. Under "System" > "Inputs", you can create a new input of type "GELF TCP". Be sure to check the "global" box, enter a "title" for your input, and confirm the port is set to 12201.

Do not activate any TLS option here. The TLS encryption will be handled by the reverse proxy included with your instance.
