.SH "NAME"
slogencrypt \- Encrypt existing plain text log files using the \fBsyslog\-ng\fR secure logging environment
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBslogencrypt\fR\ 'u
\fBslogencrypt\fR [options] [arguments]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBslogencrypt\fR
is used to encrypt plain text log file using an existing secure logging environment\&. Using this utility, log files obtained from a previous installation of
\fBsyslog\-ng\fR
or another logging system can be transferred to a secure logging environment\&. The order of the log entries is preserved\&. Encrypting plain text log files using an existing secure logging environment, requires the current encryption key to be supplied in order to preserve consistency\&.
.PP
General call sequence:
\fBslogencrypt \-k <key file> \-m <MAC file> <new key file> <new MAC file> <plain text log> <output file> [counter]\fR
