Missing SplunkViaTcp and SplunkViaUdp functionality in .NET Core package version

[sshows-clgx]

Noticed the .NET Core package is missing the extensions to the SplunkViaTcp and SplunkViaUdp functionality. Are there any plans for that to be added?

Hi @Sshows,
Thanks for dropping by. Initially the .Net Core (first versions) did not have libraries/APIs in place to support some of the protocols.

Now that Dot Net Core 2.0 is out, this could be a possibility.

Generally, we have had more requirements/requests around the HEC endpoint however if TCP/UDP is still in demand then it is something we should look into.

Hi, any idea when TCP and UDP will be avaiable?

[andiexer]

would love to see udp support as well. maybe try to implement it by myself.

Currently in net45 TCP/UDP is implemented via Splunk.Logging.Common. This package does not currently target .Net Core (netstandard1/2).

Details at

• https://www.nuget.org/packages/Splunk.Logging.Common/1.6.0
• Adding support for .Net Standard splunk/splunk-library-dotnetlogging#24

Options are to drop the package and implement or wait for an update.

Thoughts?

It's sad that guys from Spulk are not willing to upgrade from netfw to netcore/netstandard. For version 2 onwards, it should not be a problem I believe.

I would personally remove that dependency and reimplement...
