Ingestion port for seq in serilog

I've installed seq on a local server using dockers, here the docker command:

docker run -d \
 --restart unless-stopped \
 --name seq \
 -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y \
 -v /var/log/seq:/data \
 -p 8680:80 \
 -p 8631:5431 \
 datalust/seq:latest

Then, I configured my project to send Logs to the server using app.config files. File extract here:

<!-- log server -->
<add key="serilog:using:Seq" value="Serilog.Sinks.Seq" />
<add key="serilog:write-to:Seq.serverUrl" value="http://192.168.1.200:8680" />
<add key="serilog:write-to:Seq.apiKey" value="CONFIGURED-API-KEY-HERE" />
<add key="serilog:write-to:Seq.restrictedToMinimumLevel" value="Debug"/>

I couldn't get it to work until I changed server port to 8680. Before I was getting System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection refused exception.

The point is, shouldn't I use 8631 port instead of 8680? 8680 port is just for website, 8631 should be ingestion port. Am I missing something?

Solution

  • The problem is the port mapping:

    -p 8631:5431

    The Seq ingestion port is port 5341, not 5431, so this needs to be:

    -p 8631:5341
