Ah nice! That however is using the old plugin API and needs to be upgraded to be compatible to the 0.20.x series.

The task exist from 2013.
Is there some expectation, when it will be implemented.

@hc4 Since RELP isn't too complicated and it's not really a widely used protocol (unfortunately), this should better be implemented as a 3rd party plugin instead of adding it to the Graylog core: http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.0/pages/plugins.html

Or put differently: If there really was demand for RELP support in Graylog, there would be a working and maintained 3rd party plugin for it.

[hc4]

RELP is default reliable protocol for rsysylog, which is default logging daemon for Ubuntu.
So I think everybody, who uses Ubuntu will benefit from this plugin.
Also there is only FrameDecoder should be implemented, as I understand.

@hc4 Feel free to start a 3rd party plugin or ask the maintainer of the old RELP input plugin (https://github.com/h0nIg/graylog2-input-relp) to update the project for Graylog 2.x.
