Default Constructor

Start using it by creating UdpGelfClient with some constructors:

var client = new UdpGelfClient();

Default one sets port and host to default values for UDP in Graylog:

• the host will be "localhost";
• the port will be 12201;

Custom host and address

If you still want default fast experience, but you have a different address than default one, then you can use a constructor with host and port.

var client = new UdpGelfClient("host", 123);

Custom client settings

If you want to configure your client under your needs, then you can use GelfClientSettings DTO to store your configuration. Pass your settings to UpdGelfClient constructor:

var settings = new ClientSettings { Host = "myHost", Port=123, NeedCompression = false };
var client = new UdpGelfClient(settings);

Sending a message

You can send data to your Graylog by using your client.

var message = new Message { ShortMessage = "My log message" };
await client.Send(message);
