Synopsis

Options

--host <host>

Sets remote server to connect to. Defaults to localhost.

--port <port>

Sets port of remote server to connect to. Defaults to 8089. Please note that this is the management port, not the WWW interface port.

<subcommand> [<arguments>]

Subcommand to run. Currently defined is just search.

Commands

search [-t|--since <time>] [-T|--until <time>] [-f|--format compact|long|raw] <search string>

Conduct a search, output the raw log data as they are looked up. Terminate when the search is finished.

-t, --since <time>

Cut off at given time. The time specification is any string understood by Date::Manip. Most common formats apply as well as human-readable relative time specifications (see Examples).

Use rt for real time search, optionally with specifcation of the search window, such as rt-10 for 10-second window, or rt-1m for one minute.

Defaults to unlimited.

-T, --until <time>

Do not look for entries newer than given time. The format of the time specification is the same as for --since option.

If this or --since is rt a real-time search is conducted.

-f,  --format compact|long|raw

Switch output format style.
