syslog events not sent to Splunk

trying out SC4S - not seeing my syslog come through to Splunk 

Installed all running docker - no firewalls or selinux

syslog hitting server running sc4s :

 

 

 

tcpdump -i eth0 dst port 514
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
00:24:24.962899 IP x.x.x.x.bob.com.38897 > 197-202-166-108-dedicated.multacom.com.syslog: SYSLOG local0.warning, length: 273

 

 

 

docker seems to be running fine - i receive HEC TEST EVENT's

and startup events in splunk : sc4s version=v1.47.3

sc4s logs :
