DESCRIPTION
lr_log2report reads a log file from STDIN or the specified argument and
will output a formatted Lire report on STDOUT or in the output_file
argument. The format of the log file is specified using the
dlf_converter argument. Use the --help dlf-converters option to get a
list of all currently available DLF converters.
In case the log is passed in a compressed format, it’s uncompressed on
the fly, using gzip(1).
WARNING: This command outputs binary data on the terminal for all
output formats except txt and xml. You should redirect stdout to a file
when using those output formats.
In the case where output format is html, the output_file argument will
be interpreted as a directory name. This directory will get created if
needed, and will hold the various html files. In case this argument is
omitted, a tar(1) file should be output on STDOUT (but see the BUGS
section).
WARNING: Running this command on big logfiles generally means you’ll
need lots of free diskspace. See Lire::LrCommand(3pm) for details.
EXAMPLES
To process a Postfix log and display the report as text, use
$ lr_log2report postfix /var/log/mail.log
To process a Postfix log and create an HTML report in a directory, use
$ lr_log2report -o html postfix /var/log/mail.log postfix-report
BUGS
If
--output html
is specified, both logfile and output_file need to be specified.
Specifying "-" (or "/dev/stdin") as logfile is supported. So this
$ tai64nfrac < /var/log/qmail-send/current | \
lr_log2report qmail --output html - /tmp/report
will work.
