The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connection-less protocol to send messages on an IP network. Tenzir supports writing to and reading from UDP sockets, both in server (listening) and client (connect) mode.

ServerconnectSend (listen)Clientudp://1.2.3.4Send (connect)udp://1.2.3.4udp://5.6.7.8udp://5.6.7.8Receive (connect)Receive (listen)

Use the IP address 0.0.0.0 to listen on all available network interfaces.

Use from_udp to receive UDP datagrams as structured events containing message data and peer information. For sending, use save_udp with a write operator.

from_udp "0.0.0.0:514"
this = data.parse_syslog()
from {message: "Tenzir"}
write_ndjson
save_udp "1.2.3.4:8080"
