IM_UDP(8)              DragonFly System Manager's Manual             IM_UDP(8)


NAME

     UDP input module - syslogd(8) input module for UDP network logging


SYNOPSIS

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


DESCRIPTION

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


EXAMPLES

     *   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'
