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.
Any help with will be really appreciated.
Here is the syslog.conf

You need to uncomment
#module(load="imtcp")
#input(type="imtcp" port="514")
To provide syslog TCP reception. Once you have do this restart the syslog service and will work.
If you want listen tcp on port 2114
you need to change the input as
input(type="imtcp" port="2114")
