rsync - Mar 2006 - rsync log file question

I saw in the rsync.d documentation that there is a perl script to parse the
default log format for tranferred files.
Is there a utility out there that will handle the server/client log files
even if you chaneg the format around?

thanks

Doug

You just need to customize the matching code in the rsyncstats script.
It ships with support for two log formats (both with the normal implied
"%t [%p]" prefix):

    %o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l
    %i %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l

Note that this currently only parses log files that rsync generated
(i.e. not output by syslog) due to the date matching:

    next unless ($day,$time,$op,$host,$module,$file,$bytes)
      = m#^
(\d+/\d\d/\d\d)\s+(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)\s+\[\d+\]\s+(send|recv|[<>]f\S+)\s+
          (\S+)\s+\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\]\s+(\S+)\s+\(\S*\)\s+(.*)\s+(\d+) $ #x;

Here's an improved version that allows it to match syslog entries, and
makes the regex a little clearer:

   next unless ($day,$time,$op,$host,$module,$file,$bytes)
      = m{^
	  ( \w\w\w\s+\d+ | \d+/\d\d/\d\d ) \s+ # day
	  (\d\d:\d\d:\d\d) \s+                 # time
	  [^[]* \[\d+\]:? \s+                  # pid (ignored)
	  (send|recv|[<>]f\S+) \s+             # op (%o or %i)
	  (\S+) \s+                            # host
	  \[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\] \s+           # IP (ignored)
	  (\S+) \s+                            # module
	  \(\S*\) \s+                          # user (ignored)
	  (.*) \s+                             # file name
	  (\d+)                                # file length in bytes
	  $ }x;

If you need help modifying that, let me know what "log format" you
use.
