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.
Configuration:
This is a sample configuration for the plugin.
[[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"
