SYNOPSIS

9       dqtool [command] [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       NOTE: The dqtool application is distributed with the system logging
13       application, and is usually part of the syslog-ng package. The latest
14       version of the syslog-ng application is available at the official
15       syslog-ng website[1].
16
17       This manual page is only an abstract, for the complete documentation of
18       syslog-ng, see The Administrator Guide[2].
19
20       The dqtool application is a utility that can be used to display and
21       format the messages stored in a disk-buffer file.
22

THE CAT COMMAND

24       cat [options] [file]
25
26       Use the cat command to display the log messages stored in the
27       disk-buffer (also called disk-queue) file, and also information from
28       the header of the disk queue file. The messages are printed to the
29       standard output (stdout), so it is possible to use grep and other tools
30       to find particular log messages, e.g., dqtool cat /var/log/messages.lgs
31       |grep 192.168.1.1.
32
33       The cat command has the following options:
34
35       --debug or -d
36           Print diagnostic and debugging messages to stderr.
37
38       --help or -h
39           Display a brief help message.
40
41       --template=<template> or -t
42           Format the messages using the specified template.
43
44       --verbose or -v
45           Print verbose messages to stderr.
46
47       --version or -V
48           Display version information.
49
50       Example:
51
52           ./dqtool cat ../var/syslog-ng-00000.qf
53
54       The output looks like:
55
56           Disk-buffer state loaded; filename='../var/syslog-ng-00000.qf', qout_length='65', qbacklog_length='0', qoverflow_length='9205', qdisk_length='0'
