fluentd tcp input plugin not working

When I running a fluentd td-agent to read the data from the tcp port 514 using tcp plugin but I find the error as,

   2015-05-25 15:32:18 +0000 [info]: adding match pattern="tcp.events" type="stdout"
   2015-05-25 15:32:18 +0000 [info]: adding source type="tcp"
   2015-05-25 15:32:18 +0000 [error]: unexpected error  error_class=Errno::EACCES error=#<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - bind(2) for "0.0.0.0" port 514>

When I try to read the data from TCP port I find the data as

   nc -l 514

Any port number under 1024 requires root permission. It's called privileged ports. Could you try with bigger port number?
