Description

ec_log_trace parses Momentum log files and prints out the contents in human-readable format. It can also find log lines matching certain requirements. Log files can be any number and combination of eclogger-formatted files, uncompressed or bzipped, supplied as command line arguments. If no log file is specified, the mainlog.ec and rejectlog.ec files at the default location are processed along with the rotated mainlog and rejectlog files.

Note

You must specify the log file files that you wish to process.

Options --date, --xml, -v, -, --output and --append can be used when parsing rejectlog.ec and its rotated files. Other options are currently only for mainlog.ec and its rotated files.

Usage of the options:

-

Use STDIN as input for parsing.

--binding=*`name`*

Show main log records for deliveries, transient and permanent failures via the specified binding.

--binding-regex=*`name`*

Show main log records for deliveries, transient and permanent failures via the regex binding.

--count

Show only the number of log records satisfying specified options.

--date

Print date and time instead of epoch seconds in the log. For example 1268402398 becomes Fri Mar 12 08:59:58 2010.

--dst-ip=*`IP`*

Show log records with specified destination IP address.

--dst-ip-regex=*`IP`*

Show log records with regex destination IP address.

--end=*`date`*

Show log records before the end date (inclusive). date can be epoch seconds or in the format of "MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY". For example, date can be 1123456789, "Sep 12 18:12:21 2006" or "09 12 18:12:21 2006".

--from=*`address`*

Show only reception log records where the envelope sender is the specified address.

--from-domain=*`domain`*

Show only reception log records where the envelope sender's domain is the specified domain.

--from-domain-regex=*`domain`*

Show only reception log records where the envelope sender's domain is the regex domain.

--from-regex=*`address`*

Show only reception log records where the envelope sender is the specified regular expression.

-h

Show a help message.

--id=*`ID`*

Show log records with specified message ID. You can use this option multiple times.

--in | --reception

Show reception log records.

--main

Only show records from the mainlogs.

--out | --delivery

Show delivery log records.

--output=*`file`* [--append]

Print results to file instead of STDOUT. Using the optional --append mode, appends to an existing file.

--perm

Show permanent failure log records. If this is used with -v, Reception time, From: and To: address of a message that is permanently failed will be printed, as well as the failure message.

--src-ip=*`IP`*

Show log records with specified source IP address.

--src-ip-regex=*`IP`*

Show log records with regex source IP address.

--start=*`date`*

Show log records after the start date (inclusive). date can be epoch seconds or in the format of "MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY". For example, date can be 1123456789, "Sep 12 01:12:21 2006" or "09 12 18:21:21 2006".

Note

Currently you cannot specify a start date in the format "MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY". Use Unix epoch seconds. You can use the date shell command to convert a string to Unix epoch seconds.

--to=*`address`*

Show only reception log records where the recipient is the specified address.

--to-domain=*`domain`*

Show log records where the recipient's domain is the specified domain.

You can specify --to-domain options multiple times.

--to-domain-regex=*`domain`*

Show log records where the recipient's domain is the regex domain.

--to-regex=*`address`*

Show only reception log records where the recipient is the regex address.

--tran

Show transient failure log records.

-v | --verbose

For rejectlog.ec, print detailed information. For mainlog.ec, print all log information grouped by message id.

--vctx-conn=key[=value]

Show reject logs where the validate context for the message has the specified key and optional value. Use --vctx-conn=key='' to test for a key with an empty value.

--vctx-conn=key[=value]

Show reject logs where the validate context for the connection has the specified key and optional value. Use --vctx-conn=key='' to test for a key with an empty value.

--vctx-conn-regex=key[=value]

Show reject logs where the validate context for the connection has the regex key and optional value. Use --vctx-conn=key='' to test for a key with an empty value.

--vctx-mess=key[=value]

Show reject logs where the validate context for the message has the specified key and optional value. Use --vctx-mess=key='' to test for a key with an empty value.

--vctx-mess-regex=key[=value]

Show reject logs where the validate context for the message has the regex key and optional value. Use --vctx-mess=key='' to test for a key with an empty value.

--xml

Print output in XML format.

Usage Examples

Show counts of receptions, deliveries, temporary failures and permanent failures:

shell> ec_log_trace --count

Show counts of receptions, deliveries, temporary failures and permanent failures with a MAIL FROM in the messagesystems.com domain.

shell> ec_log_trace--count --from-domain=messagesystems.com

Show counts of receptions, deliveries, temporary failures and permanent failures with a MAIL FROM in the messagesystems.com domain or its subdomains.

shell> ec_log_trace --count --from-domain-regex='.?messagesystems.com$'

Show all messages from the null sender sent from the client with IP address 1.2.3.4.

shell> ec_log_trace --from='<>' --src-ip=1.2.3.4 --verbose

Show all messages that were delivered, temporarily failed or permanently failed by the mail server with IP address 5.6.7.8. Note that this will show all temporary failures for 5.6.7.8, even if the final deliveries, permanent failures were to a different IP address.

shell> ec_log_trace --dst-ip=5.6.7.8 --verbose

Show all messages received, delivered, temporarily failed or permanently failed in the default binding and binding group

shell> ec_log_trace --binding=default --binding-group=default

Show all reject log entries where "rdnsbl" was set in the connection context. This context may have been set by a Sieve script.

shell> ec_log_trace --vctx-conn=rdnsbl /var/log/ecelerity/rejectlog.ec*

Show all reject log entries where "somehdr" begins with "failed" in the connection context.

shell> ec_log_trace --vctx-mess-regex='somehdr=^failed ' /var/log/ecelerity/rejectlog.ec*
