update-xlogmaster(1)
NAME
- update-xlogmaster - create a configurationfile for xlog
- master
SYNOPSIS
update-xlogmaster [-v]
DESCRIPTION
- Xlogmaster can monitor logfiles and other info. When a
- sysadmin installs a package containing a logfile, he would have
- to add a entry for this logfile to xlogmaster manually.
- update-xlogmaster automatically generates a configfile for
- xlogmaster, if the debian package contains a file with entries
- for the logfiles provided by the package.
- You can override these files and also provide entry files
- on your own which will be incorporated by update-xlogmaster.
- update-xlogmaster should be run whenever a entry file is
- changed. It will be run automatically when debian packages that
- contain entry files are installed or removed from the system.
- Information about the format of the entries can be found
- in /usr/doc/xlogmaster/tutorial.txt . When you want to set up a
- trigger, check the Policy first.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose output, show warnings.
FILES
- Entry files: (Earlier listed directories override
- those listed later.)
- Entry files should be named after the logfile they
- provide an entry for.

- Entry files created by the sysadmin to override
- the provided files and entries created by the sysadmin.

- /usr/lib/xlogmaster/entries/default/*
- Entry files provided by the xlogmaster package.
- (These are for packages that don't provide entry files yet. If
- you see (or maintain) a package that supplies an entryfile in
- /usr/lib/xlogmaster/entries/, please email me and I'll remove
- that entry file from /usr/lib/xlogmaster/entries/default/).
