  .
+ The module also provides an ipng_stats_logtail http-level directive
+ that ships every request as a UDP datagram to a collector, using a
+ named nginx log_format (so $ipng_source_tag and $server_addr are
+ available alongside the standard access-log variables). Each worker
+ holds a private in-memory buffer flushed on size or timer, over a
+ per-worker SOCK_DGRAM socket resolved once at configuration time.
+ Delivery is fire-and-forget — zero disk I/O, no backpressure — and
+ an if=$variable parameter suppresses selected requests (e.g. health
+ checks) before the format is rendered.

  Typical use cases include GRE tunnel fleets, VLAN trunks, or any
  deployment where traffic arrives on distinct interfaces and
  per-interface observability is needed.
