The TCP plugin writes JSON envelopes over a TCP socket (one connection per delivery). It is the simplest low-latency emitter when you control the consumer. Configuration lives at the system data root (for example ~/.eventdbx/plugins.json).

​
Message format

Configure via CLI: 
dbx plugin config tcp --name risk-stream --host risk-broker.internal --port 7075 --payload event-only
One JSON line per delivery: 
{"event": {...}, "state": {...}, "schema": {...}}
Keys are omitted when payload_mode excludes them.

​
Reliability

  • One connection per delivery; retries are handled by the EventDBX plugin queue.
  • Keep the consumer fast and fail-closed; slow or unreachable sockets surface as retries in dbx queue.

​
Monitoring

  • Watch plugin logs for write failures; use dbx plugin test <name> to send a sample envelope.
