nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

type: edport_input

The type parameter specifies the type of node being configured. It is specified as a string from a closed list of node types. It is a required parameter.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

port

Enter the port number that the udp_input type node should listen on. Port numbers less than 1024 are not supported as are privileged and require a root user in Linux. It is specified as an integer and is a required parameter.

nodes:
