GeoEvent Simulator cound not connect

[Trung_KiênTrần]

I could not start GeoEvent Simulator, when I clicked connect button and I had error: Failed to connect to locallhost:5565 - No connection cound be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:5565. I installed GeoEvent Server with the same machine I started Simulator. Please give me a advise. Thank you!

I found this can happen when the input tcp-text-in service has not yet been started in GeoEvent Manager.  I sometimes will check to see if the port is listening in a command prompt using the command netstat -na | find "5565" or "LIST"
