mention that input in the graylog server should be gelf udp

[treaz]

Great plugin :+1:

It would be really useful if somewhere in readme.md you'd mention that logback-gelf creates upd gelf messages. I had to look in the sourcecode and figure out that it's creating datagrams and I should configure the graylog server to listen to upd (create a gelf upd input).

Yep, I'm working on a new version where TCP is supported as well so I'll make it clear as part of that release. Back in my day, graylog only supported UDP ;)

Greetings,

It helps me to sent messages for Graylog udp inputs. As said, let us know if it covered the TCP and TCP over SSL inputs.

Thanks in advance.

Here's the branch that I'm working on. In this new flow, Adding an SSL TCP appender should be pretty easy. I probably won't include one on the first release, but you're welcome to create a PR once this is released.

I just finished the branch, any chance you'd be interested in testing it @treaz and @mundrusatish? I've done a fair bit, but it would be great to get some feedback on the new approach. You'll need to build both socket-encoder-appender and logback-gelf from scratch as they're not on maven central yet

Sorry Anthony, I'm already caught up with another project and I don't have any more time to play with graylog.

version 2.0beta1 with UDP and TCP support is now released. Closing this issue.
