NAME

       qslogger - another shell command interface to the system log module (syslog).

SYNOPSIS

       qslogger [-r <expression>] [-t <tag>] [-f <facility>] [-l <level>] [-d <level>] [-p]

DESCRIPTION

       Use this utility to forward log messages to the systems syslog facility, e.g., to forward the messages to
       a remote host. It reads data from stdin.

OPTIONS

       -r <expression>
              Specifies  a  regular  expression which shall be used to determine the severity (syslog level) for
              each log line. The default pattern '^\[[0-9a-zA-Z :]+\] \[([a-z]+)\] '  can  be  used  for  Apache
              error  log  messages but you may configure your own pattern matching and other log format too. Use
              brackets to define the string enclosing the severity string. Default level (if severity  can't  be
              determined) is defined by the option '-d' (see below).

       -t <tag>
              Defines the tag name which shall be used to define the origin of the messages, e.g. 'httpd'.

       -f <facility>
              Defines the syslog facility. Default is 'daemon'.

       -l <level>
              Defines the minimal severity a message must have in order to be forwarded. Default is 'DEBUG'.

       -d <level>
              The  default  severity  if  the  specified pattern (-r) does not match and the message's serverity
              can't be determined. Default is 'NOTICE'.

       -p     Writes data also to stdout (for piped logging).

EXAMPLE

         ErrorLog "|./qslogger -t apache -f local7"
