NAME

UDP input module —

syslogd(8) input module for UDP network logging

SYNOPSIS

udp [-a] [-q] [-h host] [-p port]

Listens on an UDP port for incoming log messages for the syslogd(8) daemon.

The following command starts the syslogd(8) daemon and logs UDP logging information coming in on the default port only:

syslogd -i udp
This does the same as above, but listens on address local.example.com port 1777 instead:

syslogd -i udp '-h local.example.com -p 1777'

This does the same as above, but gets host name from message:

syslogd -i udp '-a -h local.example.com -p 1777'

The following is the same, but avoids adding full fomain (FQDN):

syslogd -i 'udp -q -a -h local.example.com -p 1777'
