If you are not seeing your logs appear in Graylog, here are a few things you can check:

1. Make sure Graylog has a GELF TCP input listening on port 12201, and that TLS is not enabled on this input.
2. In the Stackhero dashboard, under "Configure", confirm that port 12201 is set up with TCP and TLS enabled under "Input ports".
3. Verify that the firewall settings in Stackhero show port "12201/tcp" as "ACCEPT", ideally at position #1 with the source set to 0.0.0.0/0 for testing.
4. In the Graylog admin panel under "Search", make sure you are viewing logs from the last hour, and set the view to update every second to catch new messages as they arrive.
