SUDO_SENDLOG(8)           BSD System Manager's Manual          SUDO_SENDLOG(8)

NAME
     sudo_sendlog — send sudo I/O log to log server

SYNOPSIS
     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
     sudo_sendlog 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 re‐
                 ported 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 hand‐
                 shake.  By default, sudo_sendlog 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 de‐
                 fault, 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 spec‐
                 ified 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 sudo_sendlog version and exit.
