All of my incoming GELF messages on UDP are being rejected as incomplete. I 
need to find out why the messages are being rejected as incomplete.  Can 
anyone advise me here?

I am running on one node

   - graylog-server-0.20.1
   - graylog2-web-interface 0.20.1
   - elasticsearch 0.90.,10
   - mongodb 2.4.9
   - Ubutnu server 13
   - graylog2 is configured with one node, one input (GELF UDP, global, 
   port 12201) -- I also tried a local input attached to the server node
   
I have my development environment set up on another node, running a Java 
jetty server configured with logback and the me.moocar gelf appender.  

I was able to install graylog2 and it worked.  I was able to view log 
messages as they arrived.

After working for a whlie, graylog stopped ingesting messages.  I validated 
that:

   - UDP connectivitiy between the nodes is working
   - the jetty application is sending UDP messages to the UDP port on the 
   graylog node
   - the graylog input is receiving messages 
   
The metrics page on the graylog2 web shows that the UDP input is receiving 
messages and classifying them as incomplete

I configured the log level for the graylog2 subsystem to "TRACE"

I am seeting lots of log messages from the graylog2 server like this:

2014-03-21 12:50:10,054 DEBUG: org.graylog2.inputs.gelf.gelf.GELFProcessor 
- Skipping incomplete message.

I need to find out why the messages are being rejected as incomplete.  Can 
anyone advise me here?
