# UDP listener service input plugin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The UDP listener is a service input plugin that listens for messages on a UDP
|
||
|
|
socket and adds those messages to InfluxDB.
|
||
|
|
The plugin expects messages in the
|
||
|
|
[Telegraf Input Data Formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a sample configuration for the plugin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```toml
|
||
|
|
[[inputs.udp_listener]]
|
||
|
|
## Address and port to host UDP listener on
|
||
|
|
service_address = ":8125"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Number of UDP messages allowed to queue up. Once filled, the
|
||
|
|
## UDP listener will start dropping packets.
|
||
|
|
allowed_pending_messages = 10000
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## UDP packet size for the server to listen for. This will depend
|
||
|
|
## on the size of the packets that the client is sending, which is
|
||
|
|
## usually 1500 bytes.
|
||
|
|
udp_packet_size = 1500
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Data format to consume. This can be "json", "influx" or "graphite"
|
||
|
|
## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
|
||
|
|
## more about them here:
|
||
|
|
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
|
||
|
|
data_format = "influx"
|
||
|
|
```
