<source> @type forward port 24224 not working

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
