What is this?

UDPLog is a system for emitting application log events via UDP and shipping them via RabbitMQ or Scribe for further processing. The idea is that the applications sends its structured log events to a dedicated shipping daemon on the same machine, which in turn passes it on to one or more remote services. As this uses UDP, emitting events is non-blocking fire-and-forget. An application like Logstash can then be used to process and store log events.
