UDP Syslog Input Module

Module Name: imudp

Author: Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>

Multi-Ruleset Support: since 5.3.2 +

Description:

Provides the ability to receive syslog messages via UDP. +

Multiple receivers may be configured by specifying +$UDPServerRun multiple times. +

Configuration Directives:

$UDPServerAddress <IP>
+local IP address (or name) the UDP listens should bind to
$UDPServerRun <port>
+former -r<port> option, default 514, start UDP server on this +port, "*" means all addresses
$UDPServerTimeRequery <nbr-of-times>
+this is a performance +optimization. Getting the system time is very costly. With this setting, imudp can +be instructed to obtain the precise time only once every n-times. This logic is +only activated if messages come in at a very fast rate, so doing less frequent +time calls should usually be acceptable. The default value is two, because we have +seen that even without optimization the kernel often returns twice the identical time. +You can set this value as high as you like, but do so at your own risk. The higher +the value, the less precise the timestamp. +
$InputUDPServerBindRuleset <ruleset>
+Binds the listener to a specific ruleset.

+Caveats/Known Bugs: +

currently none known

Sample:

This sets up an UPD server on port 514:
