Command-Line Interface (humioctl)

humioctl help

  Sending Data:

    LogScale's CLI is not a replacement for fully-featured data-shippers like
    LogStash, FileBeat or MetricBeat. It can be handy to easily send logs
    to LogScale, e.g examine a local log file or test a parser on test input.

  To stream the content of "/var/log/system.log" data to LogScale:

    $ tail -f /var/log/system.log | humioctl ingest -o

  or

    $ humioctl ingest -o --tail=/var/log/system.log
