===============================================
.. zeek:namespace:: Log
This script defines a postprocessing function that can be applied
to a logging filter in order to automatically SCP (secure copy)
a log stream (or a subset of it) to a remote host at configurable
rotation time intervals. Generally, to use this functionality
you must handle the :zeek:id:`zeek_init` event and do the following
in your handler:
1) Create a new :zeek:type:`Log::Filter` record that defines a name/path,
rotation interval, and set the ``postprocessor`` to
:zeek:id:`Log::scp_postprocessor`.
2) Add the filter to a logging stream using :zeek:id:`Log::add_filter`.
3) Add a table entry to :zeek:id:`Log::scp_destinations` for the filter's
writer/path pair which defines a set of :zeek:type:`Log::SCPDestination`
records.

.. zeek:id:: Log::scp_rotation_date_format
:source-code: base/frameworks/logging/postprocessors/scp.zeek 53 53
:Type: :zeek:type:`string`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"``
Default naming format for timestamps embedded into log filenames
that use the SCP rotator.
State Variables

.. zeek:id:: Log::scp_destinations
:source-code: base/frameworks/logging/postprocessors/scp.zeek 49 49
:Type: :zeek:type:`table` [:zeek:type:`Log::Writer`, :zeek:type:`string`] of :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`Log::SCPDestination`]
:Default: ``{}``
A table indexed by a particular log writer and filter path, that yields
a set of remote destinations. The :zeek:id:`Log::scp_postprocessor`
function queries this table upon log rotation and performs a secure
copy of the rotated log to each destination in the set. This
table can be modified at run-time.

.. zeek:type:: Log::SCPDestination
:source-code: base/frameworks/logging/postprocessors/scp.zeek 34 42
:Type: :zeek:type:`record`
user: :zeek:type:`string`
The remote user to log in as. A trust mechanism should be
pre-established.
host: :zeek:type:`string`
The remote host to which to transfer logs.
path: :zeek:type:`string`
The path/directory on the remote host to send logs.
A container that describes the remote destination for the SCP command
argument as ``user@host:path``.

.. zeek:id:: Log::scp_postprocessor
:source-code: base/frameworks/logging/postprocessors/scp.zeek 56 72
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (info: :zeek:type:`Log::RotationInfo`) : :zeek:type:`bool`
Secure-copies the rotated log to all the remote hosts
defined in :zeek:id:`Log::scp_destinations` and then deletes
the local copy of the rotated log. It's not active when
reading from trace files.
:param info: A record holding meta-information about the log file to be
postprocessed.
:returns: True if secure-copy system command was initiated or
if no destination was configured for the log as described
by *info*.
