NAME

       prelude-manager - Collects and normalize events.

SYNOPSIS

       prelude-manager [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Prelude  Manager  is a high-availability server which can collect, filter, relay, reverse-
       relay, normalize and store events.  Events  can  come  from  registered  analyzers  and/or
       managers.  The common usage is to store nomalized events into a database, thus this can be
       extended to store information in plain text or xml files.
