# The sysutils/logpp port

## logpp-0.16 – log file preprocessor

## Description

    Logpp is a tool for preprocessing event logs and feeding relevant
    information to other programs for storing or in-depth analysis.

    During its work, logpp reads lines appended to input files (like tail(1)
    in -f mode), matches the lines with patterns (e.g., regular
    expressions), converts matching lines according to given templates, and
    writes the results to given destinations.

    Logpp supports multi-line matching and several types of output
    destinations like regular files, FIFOs, external programs, and the
    system logger.Therefore, logpp can act as a filter in front of the
    more complex event log analysis system and increase the system's
    performance by weeding out irrelevant log data; it can work as a syslog
    gateway between the system logger and the application that doesn't use
    syslog(3); it can convert multiline log messages to shorter single
    line messages, and accomplish other log pre-processing tasks.
