Dead simple udp logger with web ui

UDP Web Logger

Requirements

• Go 1.10

Why

The very common use case is when your applications use syslog as a transport for the logs. In staging / production you can set up ELK stack with logstash parsing pattern like:

<%{POSINT:syslog_pri}>%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}

But during developing the whole ELK stack is not needed mostly. That's where this logger comes in. Cool thing is that you can embed this daemon into a Vagrant box.
