NAME
syslog-summary - summarize the contents of a syslog log file
SYNOPSIS
|
syslog-summary [ -s | --state= filename ] [ -i | --ignore= filename ] [ -d | --debug ] [ -r | --repeat ] logfile ... |
||
|
syslog-summary [ -h | --help ] |
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the syslog-summary command.
syslog-summary summarizes the contents of log files via the syslog (3) service, by displaying each unique (except for the time) line once, and also the number of times such a line occurs in the input. The lines are displayed in the order they occur in the input.
OPTIONS
-i filename , --ignore= filename
Read regular expressions from filename and ignore lines in the logfiles that match them.
-s filename , --state= filename
Read state information from filename . The state contains information about the already reported parts of a log file, and prevents syslog-summary from reporting the same things many times. This is useful when syslog-summary is run from crontab every hour. The file is created, if it doesn´t exist already.
-r , --repeat
Merge "last message repeated * times" lines with the repeated event.
-d , --debug
Enable verbose messages when errors occur (i.e. "debug mode").
-h , --help
Show summary of options.
FILES
/etc/syslog-summary/ignore.rules
Default ignore.rules file with default regular expressions.
DIAGNOSTICS
When reporting a bug, please run syslog-summary with the -d (or --debug ) flag enabled.
