[FeatureRequest] Logstash Syslog listening on UDP as well as TCP

[tfriesen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some network devices only support syslog over UDP or TCP+TLS. Current LME config only supports TCP sans TLS.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the logstash container to listen on UDP as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using netcat or similar to pump traffic from UDP to TCP
Use log forwarding with rsyslog
(Both are obviously dumb and kludgey)

Easy fix: add "12514:12514/udp" to the docker-compose-stack file, under logstash->ports

This would be a great enhancement change for a PR. We can include this as part of the next release if you're happy to wait.

thanks! :)

Alas, my git-fu is weak and whenever someone talks about 'forking' or 'pull requests' my eyes glaze over and fear grips my heart.

But I made the change on my own stack, and a quick re-run of docker stack deploy affects the change without restarting the core VMs.

Otherwise I am most content to wait.
