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
