Herald.Sinks.UdpJsonLine

Fires Herald log events as newline-delimited JSON datagrams over UDP. One datagram per event, no acknowledgement, no retry. Fits syslog-style collectors and lossy-tolerant pipelines where drop-tolerance is acceptable and latency matters more than durability.

Part of Herald — high-performance structured logging for .NET 8, 9, and 10.

Install

dotnet add package Herald.Sinks.UdpJsonLine

The sink auto-registers into LogSinkProviderRegistry.Default via a [ModuleInitializer] on assembly load. No manual RegisterAll(...) or With*SinkProviders() call is required — dotnet add package is the whole workflow.

Sink kind: udp_json_line (the identifier the Dashboard form and JSON config use to reference this sink).

Capabilities

  • Fire-and-forget datagram delivery — minimal per-event cost
  • Async path (LogAsync / LogBatchAsync) for the AsyncLogger drain
  • Lazy DNS resolution (doesn't block construction on unreachable host)
  • Per-event 65,000-byte hard ceiling with helpful error on oversized events

Limitations

  • No delivery guarantee — events can be silently dropped by the network
  • No retry, no acknowledgement, no ordering guarantee
  • Plaintext only — no built-in DTLS
  • Per-event size capped (not suited for large property bags or dumps)

Tier & runtime

  • Edition: Community — works on the free Apache 2.0 Herald.Core. No license key required.
  • AOT-compatible: yes
  • Targets: .NET 8 / 9 / 10
  • Thread safety: Thread-safe — UdpClient.Send / SendAsync are reentrant.

Vendor

Configuration

Per-sink config form lives in configuration*.mmpform at the package root and inside the assembly as an embedded resource. The Herald Dashboard renders it at runtime; JSON config follows the same shape. See CAPABILITY.yaml shipped at the package root for the full manifest (schema reference: CAPABILITY-SCHEMA.md).

Package Downloads
MMP.Herald.Business

Herald observability metapackage for business and enterprise deployments. Pulls in every Herald.Sinks destination — HTTP, TCP, UDP, every Enterprise HTTP sink (Seq, Splunk, Honeycomb, Datadog, Loki, SignalFx, Sentry, PagerDuty), community transports (Elasticsearch, Slack, GenericWebhook), and the OTLP trio. Depend on this one package and pick destinations at registration time.
MMP.Herald.Game.Pro

Herald observability metapackage tuned for paid-tier games. Pulls in the network transports (HttpJson / TcpJsonLine / UdpJsonLine), the Enterprise HTTP observability sinks (Seq, Splunk, Honeycomb, Datadog, Loki, SignalFx), Sentry for crash tracking, the generic-webhook sink, and the OTLP trio. PagerDuty, Elasticsearch, and Slack are deliberately excluded — those are business/on-call surfaces rather than game-side.
