= fluent-plugin-in-udp-event

An event driven Fluentd[http://fluentd.org/] input plugin for sending logs through UDP. The plugin uses Cool.io[http://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]

== Installations:

`gem install fluent-in-udp-event`

== Usage:

    # 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[https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/blob/master/lib/fluent/plugin/in_syslog.rb] plugin in fluentd.
