Not getting data from Heavy Forwarder

Hello,
Recently we have deployed the Splunk Enterprise.
Our moto is to monitor Wi-Fi usage, our Wi-Fi devices sending log data to syslog server, in syslog I have installed HF and configured all required settings but unfortunately am not seeing any data flow to splunk indexer.

Configuration:
Heavy Forwarder
Outputs.conf - configuration

[tcpout:group1]
server=X.X.X.X:9997
[tcpout]
indexAndForward=true

inputs.conf - configuration

[monitor:///var/log/messages]
sourcetype= cisco:ise:syslog

Splunk Enterprise
Enabled receiving in port no - 9997

inputs.conf - configuration
[default]
host = splunk server hostname
[splunktcp://9997]
disabled = 0

Firewall been adjusted not to block traffic from port.
Did ping and telnet test and both are successful but not sure why not able to see data.
kindly let me know suggestions to fix the issue.

Regards,
MC

There are no errors but still am not seeing data in indexer.

In indexer am running this query - sorucetype=cisco:ise:log

I think this is correct query for searching in indexer.
