NAME
syslog2dlf - convert syslog log files to DLF SYNOPSIS
syslog2dlf DESCRIPTION
This script uses the Lire::Syslog module to create a DLF representation of the syslog log files. It can process all the syslog log formats supported by that module. EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by syslog: $ syslog2dlf < syslog.log syslog2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report: $ lr_log2report syslog < /var/log/syslog.log SEE ALSO
