Struct gelf::UdpBackend

pub struct UdpBackend { /* fields omitted */ }

UdpBackend is the default and standard GELF backend

It pushes messages to a GELF host via UDP. Messages are cut into chunks of a certain chunk-size. This size is important since the chunk-size + a stable overhead of 12 bytes needs to fit the transport layer's mtu.

If the message fits into a single chunk, no chunking is applied.

Methods

impl UdpBackend

fn new<T: ToSocketAddrs>(destination: T) -> Result<UdpBackend>

Construct a new UdpBackend with default chunk-size (ChunkSize::LAN)

fn new_with_chunksize<T: ToSocketAddrs>(
    destination: T,
    chunk_size: ChunkSize
) -> Result<UdpBackend>

Construct an new UdpBackend with the given chunk-size

fn compression(&self) -> MessageCompression

Return the current set compression algorithm

fn set_compression(&mut self, compression: MessageCompression) -> &mut Self

Set the compression algorithm
