load_udp
Loads bytes from a UDP socket.
load_udp endpoint:str, [connect=bool, insert_newlines=bool]Description
Section titled “Description”Loads bytes from a UDP socket. The operator defaults to creating a socket
in listening mode. Use connect=true if the operator should initiate the
connection instead.
When you have a socket in listening mode, use 0.0.0.0 to accept connections
on all interfaces. The nics operator lists all all
available interfaces.
endpoint: str
Section titled “endpoint: str”The address of the remote endpoint to load bytes from. Must be of the format:
[udp://]host:port.
connect = bool (optional)
Section titled “connect = bool (optional)”Connect to endpoint instead of listening at it.
Defaults to false.
insert_newlines = bool (optional)
Section titled “insert_newlines = bool (optional)”Append a newline character (\n) at the end of every datagram.
This option comes in handy in combination with line-based parsers downstream, such as NDJSON.
Defaults to false.
