<p>The <code>update-logfmt</code> script (should be in in /usr/bin/ when installed via
system package) will create <a href="log.fmt.html">.log.fmt</a> files for known system
logs.</p>
<p>It's basically just a wrapper script that invokes handlers in
<code>/usr/share/logfmt/update/*</code>. Each of which scans one application
config to locate and decorate its according log files.</p>

<p>Currently just supports:</p>
<ul>
<li>Apache (access, global, error and transfer logs, no forensic logs)</li>
<li>Nginx (only accesss logs)</li>
</ul>
<p>More static system logs (klog/syslog) might be supported in the next
version.</p>
