UDP Forwarder

The UDP Forwarder panel lets you send logged messages through the UDP services.

The message is sent in the UDP payload format. The payload is a byte array with null terminated delimiters such as "\0" or 0 x 00 (hexadecimal) for each element. Each element's data is presented as UTF-8 encoded strings and explained below:

  1. The first element is the ZENworks version information. For example, 10.

  2. The second element is the value of severity. The severity values are 4 for INFO, 6 for WARNING, and 8 for DEBUG messages.

  3. The third element is the message logged date. The date is not local specific and is represented as UTF-8 string. For example, 09-Dec-2006 14:15:44.

  4. The fourth element is the user ID.

  5. The fifth element is the component name.

  6. The sixth element is the non-localized message ID.

  7. The seventh element is the localized message string.

  8. The eighth element is the additional information.

  9. The ninth element is the probable cause URL.

  10. The tenth element is related GUIDs objects that are separated by commas.

NOTE:If the element does not have any data, then it is represented as \0\0.
