# syslogtocern(8)

convert thttpd syslog entries into CERN Common Log format

## NAME

syslogtocern - convert thttpd syslog entries into CERN Common Log format

## SYNOPSIS

**syslogtocern** *logfile* ...

## DESCRIPTION

Reads one or more syslog files as input. Takes the thttpd entries, and converts them into CERN Combined Common Log format. Produces two files as output: access\_log and error\_log. If files with those names already exist in the current directory, they are overwritten.

## SEE ALSO

[thttpd(8)](/thttpd/8.md)

## BUGS / DEFICIENCIES

Lumps all thttpd processes together. It ought to produce separate files for each, identified by IP address and port number. However, that change represents a huge increase in complexity, so next version.
