Feature request: UDP Logging

[Gummientchen]

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate an UDP logging functionality so measurements could be sent to other programs easier. It would need a configurable IP address and port to which the data gets sent to.

I'm sadly not proficient enough in C# to implement this myself, but I could help with testing the functionality.

Should be easy enough. You're thinking it goes outbound and doesn't listen for connections?

What do you imagine the packet looks like?

I imagine it's intended for localhost only so udp unreliability isn't a factor?

[Gummientchen]

Yes, it would be outbound only. Package could be the same as the output of the CSV logger => 03.05.2022 18:38:25,88,NotSupported,,"661"

Reliability of every packet arriving isn't a problem for my intended usage, as it shows the data live.

This worked for me locally testing with netcat -ulp 2115 as a listener. The setting looks like <UDP>127.0.0.1:2115</UDP>

Must use 127.0.0.1, localhost wont work. Output is \n delineated.

Mind giving it a test and providing feedback?

That was amazingly fast. Thank you very much. It works like I expected it to work.
