udp
The
in_udp Input plugin enables Fluentd to accept UDP payload.in_udp is included in Fluentd's core. No additional installation process is required.<source>
@type udp
tag mytag # required
format /^(?<field1>\d+):(?<field2>\w+)$/ # required
port 20001 # optional. 5160 by default
bind 0.0.0.0 # optional. 0.0.0.0 by default
body_size_limit 1MB # optional. 4096 bytes by default
</source>
We've observed the drastic performance improvements on Linux, with proper kernel parameter settings (e.g. `net.core.rmem_max` parameter). If you have high-volume UDP traffic, please make sure to follow the instruction described at Before Installing Fluentd.
The value must be
udp.tag of output events.
The port to listen to. Default Value = 5160
The bind address to listen to. Default Value = 0.0.0.0
The field name of the client's hostname. If set the value, the client's hostname will be set to its key. The default is nil (no adding hostname).
If you set following configuration:
source_hostname_key client_host
then the client's hostname is set to
client_host field.{
...
"foo": "bar",
"client_host": "client.hostname.org"
}
The format of the UDP payload.
in_udp uses parser plugin to parse the payload. See parser article for more detail.The
log_level option allows the user to set different levels of logging for each plugin. The supported log levels are: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, and trace.If in_udp gots lots of packets within 1 sec, some packets are dropped. For example, you can see bigger RcvbufErrors number via
netstat -su.This means in_udp with one process can't handle such traffic. Try fluent-plugin-multiprocess to resolve the problem. See issue 1334 for more detail.
