TCP Client	order 1

The TCP client module connects to TCP server and emits a message for every message 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

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
