Hi all, Can anyone tell me why the Bulk UDP service is being deprecated? I'm using it currently as it's a handy way to send non-critical data to ES without the associated overheads of doing it via the standard API and without affecting the performance of the application sending the data (as it's essentially fire-and-forget). Kind regards, Steve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

See [Remove Bulk UDP by jpountz · Pull Request #7595 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/7595) "This feature is rarely used. Removing it will help reduce the moving parts of Elasticsearch and focus on the core." If there is demand, I can jump in and move the bulk UDP code to a community-supported plugin for ES 2.0 For syslog, I have implemented a similar plugin: > **[GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-syslog: Receiving syslog messages with...](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-syslog)** > > Receiving syslog messages with Elasticsearch. Contribute to jprante/elasticsearch-syslog development by creating an account on GitHub.

Yes we use it too. It is very handy for non critical data without performance impact. It would be great as plugin. ---
