Graylog plugin for splunk sending strange characters

Hello,

I have an instance of Graylog2 and am trying to send some logs from that instance to Splunk.
Currently i have a file server sending in data in Graylog2. I have configured a stream with the rules for the data i want to be sent to Splunk. I have configured an output that should send data to Splunk.

Currently the output has sent only like 5-7 events, while the stream has more than thousands of events.
Also the messages are shown in a strange format:
\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD\xFF\xF4\xFF\xFD

Am sure the configuration are as they should be..i configured the Data Input in Splunk to receive logs on the same port aas specified in the output configuration of Graylog2.

Has anybody else tried to configure the Graylog2 plugin and run into this problem?

Thank you,
Rigert
