7 sudo_sendlog [-AnV] [-b ca_bundle] [-c cert_file] [-h host] [-i iolog-id]
8 [-k key_file] [-p port] [-r restart-point]
9 [-R reject-reason] [-s stop-point] [-t number] path

12 sudo_sendlog can be used to send the existing sudoers I/O log path to a
13 remote log server such as sudo_logsrvd(8) for central storage.
14 The options are as follows:
16 -A, --accept-only
18 Only send the accept event, not the I/O associated with the
19 log. This can be used to test the logging of accept events
20 without any associated I/O.
21 -b, --ca-bundle
23 The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM for‐
24 mat, to use instead of the system's default certificate au‐
25 thority database when authenticating the log server. The de‐
26 fault is to use the system's default certificate authority
27 database.
28 -c, --cert The path to the client's certificate file in PEM format.
30 This setting is required when the connection to the remote
31 log server is secured with TLS.
32 --help Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
34 -h, --host Connect to the specified host instead of localhost.
36 -i, --iolog-id
38 Use the specified iolog-id when restarting a log transfer.
39 The iolog-id is reported by the server when it creates the
40 remote I/O log. This option may only be used in conjunction
41 with the -r option.
42 -k, --key The path to the client's private key file in PEM format.
44 This setting is required when the connection to the remote
45 log server is secured with TLS.
46 -n, --no-verify
48 If specified, the server's certificate will not be verified
49 during the TLS handshake. By default, sudo_sendlog verifies
50 that the server's certificate is valid and that it contains
51 either the server's host name or its IP address. This set‐
52 ting is only supported when the connection to the remote log
53 server is secured with TLS.
54 -p, --port Use the specified network port when connecting to the log
56 server instead of the default, port 30344.
57 -r, --restart
59 Restart an interrupted connection to the log server. The
60 specified restart-point is used to tell the server the point
61 in time at which to continue the log. The restart-point is
62 specified in the form “seconds,nanoseconds” and is usually
63 the last commit point received from the server. The -i op‐
64 tion must also be specified when restarting a transfer.
65 -R, --reject
67 Send a reject event for the command using the specified
68 reject-reason, even though it was actually accepted locally.
69 This can be used to test the logging of reject events; no I/O
70 will be sent.
71 -s, --stop-after
73 Stop sending log records and close the connection when
74 stop-point is reached. This can be used for testing purposes
75 to send a partial I/O log to the server. Partial logs can be
76 restarted using the -r option. The stop-point is an elapsed
77 time specified in the form “seconds,nanoseconds”.
78 -t, --test Open number simultaneous connections to the log server and
80 send the specified I/O log file on each one. This option is
81 useful for performance testing.
82 -V, --version
84 Print the sudo_sendlog version and exit.
85 Debugging sendlog
87 sudo_sendlog supports a flexible debugging framework that is configured
88 via Debug lines in the sudo.conf(5) file.
