Sorry in advance for the noob question.
I'm trying to confirm that my GEE installation is installed and configured correctly. My end goal will be to consume UDP messages from a client service. To that date end I'm trying to simulate UDP messages.
The Simulator only (?) sends TCP messages so I've created a couple of python scripts to send UDP messages and then receive same. The scripts are based on https://wiki.python.org/moin/UdpCommunication and do successfully send/receive to the server/port.
I then stop and kill the receiver before creating a standard UDP Input Connector. That connector can't see any messages and no warnings or errors appear in the log.
At the moment the message is simply "hello". I have both created a GeoEvent Definition and told the Input to Create Unrecognised Event Definitions.
Using Netstat I can see GeoEvent is listening for UDP messages on port 5565.
Am I missing something completely obvious?
Turns out I was missing something obvious. The standard UDP input connector is expecting messages to terminate with a carriage return. I should have sent "hello/n"
