Recommendations

Logs sent via UDP are not encrypted and have no delivery guarantee.

This input is supported for legacy reasons and Logit.io would not recommend setting up a new source integration sending via UDP if there is a better option available.

Send data to UDP input

Sending an example log to logstash with logger. Logger is available by default on Linux, macOS, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Open a terminal and enter the following command. If you are logged in to your Logit.io account the host and port details should be populated with the correct values.

logger -n @logstash.host -P @logstash.port "My log message here"

Note that logger also sends metadata with the log message, such as the hostname and the time the log was sent.
