TCP Client

The net.tcp.client module connects to TCP server and emits messages based on the data it receives from the server that it connects to. Messages are determined by “framing” techniques as TCP is a stream based protocol. The module will attempt to reconnect anytime the connection is closed.

• type: net.tcp.client
• params:
  • host: IP or FQDN to connect to
  • port: TCP port to connect to
  • framing: how to chunk the TCP stream into “messages”
    • LF \n
    • CR \r
    • CRLF \r\n
    • SLIP
    • RAW (no framing is done bytes are sent out as they are received)

Example

Open a TCP connection to 127.0.0.1 port 8888, any incoming data will be split on line-feed (\n)

- id: tcpClient
  type: net.tcp.client
  params:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 8888
    framing: LF
