I would change to a port >> in say the 10,000's. Ports 1...1024 on Unix-like operating systems can only be used by root (similar to "Administrator" on Windows). As such, you should choose a port higher than 1023 like 10100 or 10200 or 10201. Meaning replace agent1.sources.avro-source1.port = 1000 with agent1.sources.avro-source1.port = 10200 Brock
