An event driven Fluentd input plugin for sending logs through UDP. The plugin uses Cool.io[coolio.github.io/] similarly to other parts in Fluentd.

The incoming max message size can be configured through the max_message_size config option. It is 1024 bytes by default, any messages larger than this will be ignored.

Messages should be in JSON format, following fluentd’s common message structure:

[tag, timestamp, data]

‘gem install fluent-in-udp-event`

# Configuration file fluent.conf

<source>
  type udp_event
  port 24224
  bind 0.0.0.0
  max_message_size 2048
</source>

The plugin was heavily influenced by the in_syslog plugin in fluentd.
