PutUDP
Description
The PutUDP processor receives a FlowFile and packages the FlowFile content into a single UDP datagram packet which is then transmitted to the configured UDP server. The user must ensure that the FlowFile content being fed to this processor is not larger than the maximum size for the underlying UDP transport. The maximum transport size will vary based on the platform setup but is generally just under 64KB. FlowFiles will be marked as failed if their content is larger than the maximum transport size.

Properties
In the list below required Properties are shown with an asterisk (*). Other properties are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, and whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language.
| Display Name | API Name | Default Value | Allowable Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostname * | Hostname | localhost | Destination hostname or IP address Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables. | |
| Port * | Port | Destination port number Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables. | ||
| Max Size of Socket Send Buffer * | Max Size of Socket Send Buffer | 1 MB | The maximum size of the socket send buffer that should be used. This is a suggestion to the Operating System to indicate how big the socket buffer should be. If this value is set too low, the buffer may fill up before the data can be read, and incoming data will be dropped. | |
| Idle Connection Expiration * | Idle Connection Expiration | 15 seconds | The amount of time a connection should be held open without being used before closing the connection. A value of 0 seconds will disable this feature. Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables. | |
| Timeout | Timeout | 10 seconds | The timeout for connecting to and communicating with the destination. Does not apply to UDP Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables. |
