so, i need to take data from port 10514 on server from my virtual machine. i've tried but i didn't success yet . can you help me to configure the logstash?

my logstash-syslog.conf content is like this :  
 ![log](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/f/cff4c93a38cb3b635b0ae45b0ac39fa05b6385a9.PNG)

and the output is like this, it shows that logstash just taking local log (host : 127.0.0.1) not server log (it must be fortinet).

 ![logg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/a/ba1dbd36aec0151d2bbf09de1fee0ad18dbf5cab.PNG)
