New Feature: Support for GELF UDP and TCP Listeners

We are excited to announce the addition of GELF UDP and GELF TCP listeners to our application. This enhancement allows the application to now receive and process log data in GELF (Graylog Extended Log Format) from both UDP and TCP protocols.

Key Features:

• GELF UDP Listener: Efficiently handle GELF messages over the UDP protocol, commonly used for faster, connectionless logging.
• GELF TCP Listener: Support for GELF messages over the TCP protocol, ensuring reliable, connection-oriented logging with full message delivery.
• Automatic Decompression: The listener automatically detects and decompresses messages using either gzip or zlib if they are compressed.
• Real-time Logging: Logs are processed in real-time, providing immediate insights from incoming data.
• JSON Parsing: Logs are parsed and converted into JSON format for easy handling and integration with other tools.

Usage:

• Set up the listeners on the desired ports for UDP and TCP log messages.
• Configure your logging systems (such as Graylog, NGINX, or other sources) to send GELF log data to the appropriate listener.

Example:

Both UDP and TCP listeners are running on the following ports:

• UDP: 9402
• TCP: 9401

This new feature allows for more flexible and reliable log ingestion, enhancing the system's ability to handle a wide variety of logs from different sources in real-time.

The listeners will output all messages in th console. Make your own logic to process the messages further.

Stay tuned for more updates!
