NAME         top

       sudo_sendlog — send sudo I/O log to log server

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       can be used to send the existing sudoers I/O log path to a remote
       log server such as sudo_logsrvd(8) for central storage.

       The options are as follows:

       -A, --accept-only
               Only send the accept event, not the I/O associated with
               the log.  This can be used to test the logging of accept
               events without any associated I/O.

       -b, --ca-bundle
               The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM
               format, to use instead of the system's default
               certificate authority database when authenticating the
               log server.  The default is to use the system's default
               certificate authority database.

       -c, --cert
               The path to the client's certificate file in PEM format.
               This setting is required when the connection to the
               remote log server is secured with TLS.

       --help  Display a short help message to the standard output and
               exit.

       -h, --host
               Connect to the specified host instead of localhost.

       -i, --iolog-id
               Use the specified iolog-id when restarting a log
               transfer.  The iolog-id is reported by the server when it
               creates the remote I/O log.  This option may only be used
               in conjunction with the -r option.

       -k, --key
               The path to the client's private key file in PEM format.
               This setting is required when the connection to the
               remote log server is secured with TLS.

       -n, --no-verify
               If specified, the server's certificate will not be
               verified during the TLS handshake.  By default, verifies
               that the server's certificate is valid and that it
               contains either the server's host name or its IP address.
               This setting is only supported when the connection to the
               remote log server is secured with TLS.

       -p, --port
               Use the specified network port when connecting to the log
               server instead of the default, port 30344.

       -r, --restart
               Restart an interrupted connection to the log server.  The
               specified restart-point is used to tell the server the
               point in time at which to continue the log.  The
               restart-point is specified in the form
               “seconds,nanoseconds” and is usually the last commit
               point received from the server.  The -i option must also
               be specified when restarting a transfer.

       -R, --reject
               Send a reject event for the command using the specified
               reject-reason, even though it was actually accepted
               locally.  This can be used to test the logging of reject
               events; no I/O will be sent.

       -s, --stop-after
               Stop sending log records and close the connection when
               stop-point is reached.  This can be used for testing
               purposes to send a partial I/O log to the server.
               Partial logs can be restarted using the -r option.  The
               stop-point is an elapsed time specified in the form
               “seconds,nanoseconds”.

       -t, --test
               Open number simultaneous connections to the log server
               and send the specified I/O log file on each one.  This
               option is useful for performance testing.

       -V, --version
               Print the version and exit.

   Debugging sendlog
       supports a flexible debugging framework that is configured via
       Debug lines in the sudo.conf(5) file.

       For more information on configuring sudo.conf(5), refer to its
       manual.
