Is there a restriction on what ports I can use for incoming syslog traffic in Stream? I created a new one today on port 9516 and it will not come up. I deleted it, cloned a working config changing just the port to 9516, and again it did not work. I thought perhaps there was a restriction to stop me from using it, but the UI doesn't indicate any problem.

Yes for Cloud there is a restricted set of 11 ports for custom inputs.

Cloud? On-prem?

Sorry, Cloud

Yes for Cloud there is a restricted set of 11 ports for custom inputs.

Where can I obtain a list of these ports? I'm guessing I picked one just outside the range.
