// helpText is the CLI usage reference. Scalar flags map 1:1 to TOML config paths.
const helpText = `LogWisp %s - log collection, processing, and distribution
Usage:
lw [options] [< input] No file, no pipeline options: stdin to stdout,
line for line, like cat; exits at end of input
lw -c <file> [options] Run the file's pipelines
lw --check [options] Build every pipeline and plugin, report, exit
lw --dump [options] Print the effective configuration as TOML, exit
lw help | -h | --help
lw --version
Commands (lw <command> -h lists its subcommands):
%s
Scalar configuration keys are settable as flags using their TOML paths:
--<path>=<value> e.g. --logging.level=debug
Common options:
-c, --config <path> Configuration file (default: ./logwisp.toml)
--quiet Suppress console output
--color [<when>] Level names in color on console sinks:
auto (a terminal, NO_COLOR unset; default),
always (bare --color) or never
--status_reporter=<bool> Periodic status logging (default: true with
a configuration file)
--auto_reload=<bool> Config hot reload on file change (default: false)
Logging (lw's own log goes to stderr, at info with a configuration file and
at warn without one):
--logging.output=<mode> file|stdout|stderr|split|all|none
--logging.level=<level> debug|info|warn|error
--logging.file.directory=<path>
Pipelines (replace the file's pipelines; see doc/cli.md):
--preset <name>[,k=v...] Start a pipeline with a preset: pipe, tail,
serve, edge, aggregator; lw preset <name> -h
lists its keys, lw preset <name> prints it
--pipeline <name> Start a pipeline; earlier specs go to "cli"
--source <spec> TYPE[,key=value...], repeatable
--sink <spec> e.g. http,host=0.0.0.0,port=8080, repeatable
--filter <spec> include|exclude,patterns=RE, repeatable
--format <spec> json|txt|raw[,key=value...]
--rate-limit <spec> rate=N[,burst=N,policy=drop|pass]
--heartbeat <spec> interval_ms=N[,include_stats=true,...]
A pipeline without --source reads stdin, one without --sink writes stdout.
Keys nest with '.' (tls.cert_file=...), a repeated key makes a list, and
'\' escapes ',' '=' '\' in values. -- ends option parsing.
Examples:
lw < app.log > copy.log Copy, line for line
tail -F app.log | lw --filter include,patterns=ERROR,patterns=WARN
journalctl -f | lw --sink http,host=127.0.0.1,port=8080
Serve stdin as a live stream
lw --source file,directory=/var/log/app,pattern='*.log' --format txt
lw --preset tail,path=/var/log/app Follow a directory's files
lw --preset serve,path=/var/log/app,tls=self,users=users.toml
HTTPS stream, SCRAM logins
lw --preset edge,path=/var/log/app,to=agg:9000,ca=ca.crt,user=edge-01,\
password_file=edge-01.pass Forward to an aggregator
Environment:
LOGWISP_<PATH> Config path, '.' -> '_', uppercase
e.g. LOGWISP_LOGGING_LEVEL=debug
LOGWISP_CONFIG_FILE Configuration file path
LOGWISP_CONFIG_DIR Configuration directory
LOGWISP_PIPELINE, LOGWISP_PRESET, LOGWISP_SOURCE[_N], LOGWISP_SINK[_N],
LOGWISP_FILTER[_N], LOGWISP_FORMAT, LOGWISP_RATE_LIMIT, LOGWISP_HEARTBEAT
One pipeline, specs as the flags (_N adds
more); ignored when a pipeline flag is given
Signals:
SIGINT, SIGTERM Graceful shutdown
SIGHUP, SIGUSR1 Reload configuration
Exit codes:
0 success, including the end of input
1 general error
2 configuration file not found
