NAME

6       slogimport - Import existing plaintext log files into secure encrypted
7       destination
8

SYNOPSIS

10       slogimport [arguments]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The slogimport is used to import plaintext log file into a secure
14       encrypted destination. Using this utility, log files obtained from a
15       previous installation of syslog-ng or another logging system and
16       transfer into a secure encrypted destination. When importing plaintext
17       log files into an existing secure encrypted destination, the current
18       encryption key has to be suupplied in order to preserve consistency.
