<source> @type forward port 24224 not working

[shailyas]

Hi @geerlingguy,
I am trying to setup Fluentd Collector (aggregator) on a server, but :

  <source>
    @type forward
    @id input_forward
    port 24224

not working

Playbook:

• hosts: linux
  become: yes
  vars:
  fluentd_version: 4
  fluentd_conf_sources: |
  
  @type http
  @id input_http
  port 8888
  
  
  @type forward
  @id input_forward
  port 24224
  bind 0.0.0.0
  
  ...
  pre_tasks:
  • name: Allow Fluentd port
    community.general.ufw:
    rule: allow
    port: 24224
    proto: tcp
    roles:
  • geerlingguy.fluentd

Azure Terraform VM:
resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "infra_fluentd-01" {
...
source_image_reference {
publisher = "Canonical"
offer = "0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal"
sku = "20_04-lts-gen2"
version = "latest"
}
}
...
resource "azurerm_network_security_group" "bpa_infra_vsg_fluentd-01" {
...
security_rule {
name = "fluentdrule"
priority = 1003
direction = "Inbound"
access = "Allow"
protocol = "Tcp"
source_port_range = ""
destination_port_range = "24224"
source_address_prefix = ""
destination_address_prefix = "*"
}
}

means port 24224 is allowed in Ubuntu 20.04 ufw and Azure NSG

VM got ip = 172.23.17.41
ping & ssh port are open

dry run is ok:
cd /opt/td-agent/bin
sudo ./fluentd --dry-run -c /etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf

td-agent service is ok:
systemctl status td-agent
● td-agent.service - td-agent: Fluentd based data collector for Treasure Data
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/td-agent.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running)

but
telnet 172.23.17.41 24224
Trying 172.23.17.41...
telnet: connect to address 172.23.17.41: Connection refused

either from laptop or from other VMs in same Azure subnet

sudo lsof -i:24224
not showing that td-agent uses 24224 port
