UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

Description: A communication protocol used to transmit data over the network. It does not provide data delivery acknowledgment and is, therefore, not a reliable protocol.

UDP is the transport protocol used by the legacy BSD syslog (RFC 3164). Therefore, this protocol can be advantageous to receive log messages from older devices that do not support newer protocols. UDP is also the preferred protocol for high-volume, real-time data transfer, when data loss is not a concern.

NXLog Agent fully supports UDP and can receive and forward data using the UDP input and output modules.
Also known as: UDP protocol, UDP datagram
