NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       qslogger [-r <expression>] [-t <tag>] [-f <facility>] [-l <level>] [-d <level>] [-u <name>] [-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'.

       -u <name>
              Becomes another user, e.g. www-data.

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

       -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"
