How you can send your logs ballistically using UDP

This post introduces UDP log shipping as a feature within GitLab Enterprise Edition (7.1 and up) Omnibus packages. It addresses the operational challenge of managing logs in large GitLab instances by providing a fast, lightweight, and non-blocking method for sending logs to a separate server, preventing log-related issues from impacting the main GitLab instance. The post details the configuration process and explains the underlying technology (svlogd and remote_syslog) that enables this functionality.
