Listens on a TCP, UDP, or Unix socket for incoming data.

Configuration

source:
  kind: socket
  mode: tcp
  address: "0.0.0.0:9000"

Field	Default	Description
mode	(required)	tcp, udp, or unix
address	(required)	Bind address (host:port or socket path)
framing	newline	Frame delimiter (newline or bytes)

Namespace: socket.{mode}.{address}

CLI

skippr connect source socket \
  --mode tcp \
  --address 0.0.0.0:9000 \
  --framing newline

Flag	Description
--mode	tcp, udp, or unix
--address	Bind address (host:port or socket path)
--framing	Frame delimiter such as newline or bytes

Authentication

No connector-specific authentication is required.

Permissions or Network Requirements

This connector opens a local listener. Make sure the configured address or Unix socket path is available, and use network controls outside Skippr if the listener should not be publicly reachable.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
address already in use	Choose a different port or stop the process currently bound to that address.
no data arriving	Check the sender target address, protocol mode, and any host firewall rules.

Next steps

• Pair this source with a destination from Destination Connectors.
