This program creates a web feed from log messages in Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287). The log messages are read from database and written as XML to standard output or file.
The feed id has to be a 36 characters long UUID with hyphens. News aggregators use the id to identify the feed. Therefore, the id should not be reused among different feeds. Run dmuuid(1) to generate a valid UUID.
The time stamp of the feed in the updated element is set to the date and time of
the last log message. If no logs have been added to the database since the last
file modification of the feed, the output file is not updated, unless argument
--force is passed.
- --author, -A name
-
Name of feed author or organisation.
- --config, -c file
-
Path to configuration file.
- --database, -d file
-
Path to SQLite log database.
- --email, -M address
-
E-mail address of feed author.
- --entries, -E count
-
Maximum number of entries in feed (default is 50).
- --force, -F
-
Force writing of output file. If not set, the output file will be updated only if new log records are available.
- --help, -h
-
Output available command-line arguments and quit.
- --id, -I uuid
-
UUID of the feed, 36 characters long with hyphens.
- --maxlevel, -K level
-
Select log messages of the given maximum log level (from 1 to 5). Must be greater or equal the minimum level. The argument may be an integer or name string.
- --minlevel, -L level
-
Select log messages of the given minimum log level (from 1 to 5). The argument may be an integer or name string.
- --name, -n name
-
Name of instance and table in given configuration file (default is
dmfeed). - --node, -N id
-
Select log messages of the given node id.
- --output, -o file
-
Path of the output file. If empty, the Atom feed will be printed to standard output.
- --subtitle, -G title
-
Sub-title of feed.
- --title, -C title

Generate a unique feed id, and then write the last 50 log messages in Atom format to file:
$ dmuuid --hyphens 19c12109-3e1c-422c-ae36-3ba19281f2e $ dmfeed --database /var/dmpack/log.sqlite --output feed.xml \ --id 19c12109-3e1c-422c-ae36-3ba19281f2e
