UDP Logger

A UDP datagram logger for use with the log crate, to allow for on-demand viewing of logs:

use log::info;

use udp_logger::UdpLoggerBuilder;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    UdpLoggerBuilder::try_init("127.0.0.1:1999", log::Level::Info)?;

    loop {
        info!("testing {} things", 1);
        std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(1));
    }
}

Run the example with:

$ cargo run --example basic

And log output can be viewed as desired by running netcat (or similar) on the receiving host:

% ncat -lu localhost 1999
