Hi All,


We have been struggling to see our first TCP log messages with Rsyslog
(7.4.7) and RHEL 7.
We have run separate rsyslogd with different pid and conf file(not a
service).
UDP is working fine.
We have gone through a few forums and tried below things.

Tried TCP with ports 601,1025,10441 etc
Added 
PrivDropToUser adm
PrivDropToGroup adm
to conf file.

We are using logger client
logger --tcp  -n  <destination-ip> message

We can see the tcp packet on the destination machine with tcpdump on
specific port.
But seems that rsyslog is not working.
Machine: RHEL 7 and SElinux is disabled.
Below is the Extract or our conf file
# Provides TCP syslog reception
#$ModLoad imtcp
#$InputTCPMaxSessions 500
#$InputTCPServerRun 10441
module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imtcp" port="11514")

#$AllowedSender TCP,<dest-ip>
#$PrivDropToUser adm
#$PrivDropToGroup adm

# Where to place auxiliary files
$WorkDirectory /var/opt/rsyslog

# Use default timestamp format
#$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat

#### RULES ####
*.* /var/opt/rsyslog/kunal.log
