Plugins ​

PluginWhat it doesPins
PingSends one ICMP echo request (ping) to a host for every record it receives and emits the result. Use it for simple availability checks of servers and network devices.Input, Output, Continue
Tcp clientOpens a persistent TCP connection to a remote server, writes the bytes of every input record to it and, optionally, emits everything the server sends back. Use it to talk to devices or services with a raw TCP protocol.Input, Output, Continue
TCP serverListens for TCP connections on an address and port, emits all received data as TcpDatagram records and sends data back to a specific client through the Response pin. Use it to accept connections from devices or services that speak a raw TCP protocol. The component keeps the flow running.Start, Request, Response, Tcp events
UDP clientSends the bytes of every input record as one UDP datagram to a configured address and port, and optionally emits the datagrams the remote side sends back. Use it for UDP-based devices, telemetry or simple request/reply protocols.Input, Output, Continue
UDP serverListens on a UDP port and emits every received datagram as a UdpDatagram record. Use it to receive telemetry, syslog-style messages or device notifications sent over UDP. The component keeps the flow running.Start, Output
