Messages can be received as UDP datagrams, a datagram containing exactly one message. This is compatible with most syslog daemons and other log collectors.

[input]
type = "udp"
listen = "0.0.0.0:514"

Sending messages over UDP is simple, fast, and surprisingly reliable on a local network. However, a message is limited to 65,527 bytes.

Optional properties:

  • listen="<ip address>:<port>" (defaults to 0.0.0.0:514): the IP address and port to receive datagrams on.
