Overview

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
