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"
