NAME
scanerrlog - program to summarize Apache error log files
SYNOPSIS
scanerrlog [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the scanerrlog command. This manual page
was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in
the GNU Info format; see below.
scanerrlog is a program that allows people to parse Apache error_log
files from different sources and present the information in decreasing
frequency of messages.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below.
-c, --continue
Use a cache (ScanErrLog.stats) in order to speed up subsequent
processing of the same file.
WARNING: This option is incompatible with the parsing of
multiple files.
-d, --date
Include the date at which the last message of each type
occurred. Mutually exclusive with the --pattern option.
-e, --exclude LIST
Exclude messages with severities in LIST from the final report.
LIST is a slash separated list of message severities.
-f, --format TYPE
Set the output format to TYPE, which is one of: html (default),
pdf, text, xml
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-l, --limit NUMBER
Only include messages which occur at least NUMBER times.
-n, --nocumulate
Don’t accumulate counts across multiple file arguments. If -o is
not used, then this option implies -w.
-o, --outputfile FILE
Save the report in FILE. If -n is used, then reports will be
saved in FILE.N, where N is a number starting at 1 and
incremented for each report.
-p, --pattern PATTERN
Select only lines which match PATTERN. The default pattern
selects all Apache log messages, excluding others (e.g. CGI
script errors). To work correctly, PATTERN should match all
characters from the beginning of the line up to the beginning of
the real error message. This option is mutually exclusive with
--date.
-t, --title TITLE
Set the report title to TITLE.
-v, --version
Show version of program.
-w, --withoutheader
Suppress headers from HTML output. Useful if you want to include
the output in another HTML document.
