SYNOPSIS
samba-log-parser {path} [--pid=PID] [--traceid=ID] [--breakdown]
[--merge-by-timestamp] [--flow] [--flow-compact] [-h|--help]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
The samba-log-parser program parses samba winbind logs.
OPTIONS
The following options are available to the samba-log-parser program.
--pid=PID
Display traces for winbind client with the matching PID.
--traceid=ID
Display traces with matching traceid debug header field.
--breakdown
Break down all traces to separate files in the current working
directory. For each traceid, three files are created: traceid.full
traceid.flow traceid.flowcompact
--merge-by-timestamp
Sort the trace lines according to the timestamp. Works with log
files without traceid header field as well.
--flow
Display the request/sub-request flow.
--flow-compact
Display the request/sub-request flow without dcerpc call details.
EXAMPLES
Show the flow traces for trace id 1234 from log file log.winbind:
# samba-log-parser --traceid 1234 --flow /var/log/samba/log.winbind
Show the full traces for winbind client with PID 999999 sorted using the
timestamp for log files found in the samba log directory:
# samba-log-parser --pid 999999 --merge-by-timestamp /var/log/samba
Break down the traces into separate files according to traceid sorted
using the timestamp for log files found in the samba log directory:
# samba-log-parser --breakdown --merge-by-timestamp /var/log/samba
Sort traces using the timestamp for log files found in the samba log
directory. Traces do not need to contain the traceid header field.
# samba-log-parser --merge-by-timestamp /var/log/samba
