*This input plugin allows you to collect incoming events over UDP instead of TCP. It is useful because UDP does not require ACK hence the transaction is completed fasted than TCP

gem install fluent-plugin-udp

 <source>
   type udp
   bind <bind_ip>
   port <binding_udp_port>
 </source>

For submitting events, if you are using Ruby then you could use this: 
<pre>
 require "socket"
 UDPSocket.new.send("{\"tag\":\"tagname\",\"key\":\"value\"}", 0, 'hostname', 1234)
</pre>
