Python send logs via ssh tunnel not working

Question

I have a simple test application in python that I would like to run through ssh tunnel: Here is the application code :

import logging
import logging.handlers

my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)


handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address = ('localhost',6000), facility=19)


my_logger.addHandler(handler)

my_logger.debug('this is debug')
my_logger.critical('this is critical')

On the other hand, I run this on my local machine:

ssh -L 6000:0.0.0.0:8000 user@remotehost

my goal is to send log via secure channel.

Note: Application is running perfectly without ssh tunnel from local computer to the server. I am able to test that tunnel is working fine because when I use curl localhost:6000 I get a result on the other side, this mean ssh tunnel is working as expected.

Can someone see what I am doing wrong ?

BR,

Edited : after few checks, I saw that http was missing:

import logging
import logging.handlers
import requests
import socket

logging.socket = socket

my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

#handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address = '/dev/log')
handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address = ('http://localhost', 6000))


my_logger.addHandler(handler)

my_logger.debug('this is debug')
my_logger.critical('this is critical')

now, I have this error messae:
