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 log.
19 This can be used to test the logging of accept events without any
20 associated I/O.
21 -b, --ca-bundle
23 The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format,
24 to use instead of the system's default certificate authority
25 database when authenticating the log server. The default is to
26 use the system's default certificate authority database.
27 -c, --cert
29 The path to the client's certificate file in PEM format. This
30 setting is required when the connection to the remote log server
31 is secured with TLS.
32 --help Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
34 -h, --host
36 Connect to the specified host instead of localhost.
37 -i, --iolog-id
39 Use the specified iolog-id when restarting a log transfer. The
40 iolog-id is reported by the server when it creates the remote I/O
41 log. This option may only be used in conjunction with the -r op‐
42 tion.
43 -k, --key
45 The path to the client's private key file in PEM format. This
46 setting is required when the connection to the remote log server
47 is secured with TLS.
48 -n, --no-verify
50 If specified, the server's certificate will not be verified dur‐
51 ing the TLS handshake. By default, sudo_sendlog verifies that
52 the server's certificate is valid and that it contains either the
53 server's host name or its IP address. This setting is only sup‐
54 ported when the connection to the remote log server is secured
55 with TLS.
56 -p, --port
58 Use the specified network port when connecting to the log server
59 instead of the default, port 30344.
60 -r, --restart
62 Restart an interrupted connection to the log server. The speci‐
63 fied restart-point is used to tell the server the point in time
64 at which to continue the log. The restart-point is specified in
65 the form “seconds,nanoseconds” and is usually the last commit
66 point received from the server. The -i option must also be spec‐
67 ified when restarting a transfer.
68 -R, --reject
70 Send a reject event for the command using the specified
71 reject-reason, even though it was actually accepted locally.
72 This can be used to test the logging of reject events; no I/O
73 will be sent.
74 -s, --stop-after
76 Stop sending log records and close the connection when stop-point
77 is reached. This can be used for testing purposes to send a par‐
78 tial I/O log to the server. Partial logs can be restarted using
79 the -r option. The stop-point is an elapsed time specified in
80 the form “seconds,nanoseconds”.
81 -t, --test
83 Open number simultaneous connections to the log server and send
84 the specified I/O log file on each one. This option is useful
85 for performance testing.
86 -V, --version
88 Print the sudo_sendlog version and exit.
89 Debugging sendlog
91 sudo_sendlog supports a flexible debugging framework that is configured
92 via Debug lines in the sudo.conf(5) file.
