I am using syslog on ubuntu 16.4 Operating System in golang to log error like following.
w, err = syslog.Dial("tcp", "localhost:2114", syslog.LOG_ERR, "testapi")
Here I'm getting following error.
dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2114: getsockopt: connection refused
I have already tried following things.
- Enable port in firewall with - sudo ufw allow 2114 command.
- Disable firewall and tried with that.
- Tried other port with above steps.
Any help with will be really appreciated.
Here is the syslog.conf
