NAME
       slogimport - Import existing plaintext log files into secure encrypted
       destination

SYNOPSIS
       slogimport [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       The slogimport is used to import plaintext log file into a secure
       encrypted destination. Using this utility, log files obtained from a
       previous installation of syslog-ng or another logging system and
       transfer into a secure encrypted destination. When importing plaintext
       log files into an existing secure encrypted destination, the current
       encryption key has to be suupplied in order to preserve consistency.

ARGUMENTS
       host keyfile
           The file containing the current encrypted key of the secure
           encrypted destination configured on the host.

       output keyfile
           The file that will contain the new current encryption key after
           successful import.

       input log file
           The plaintext log file that will be import into the secure
           encrypted destination.

       output log file
           The file that will contain the encrypted log entries from the
           supplied plaintext log file after import.

       input MAC file
           The file containing the current message authentication code (MAC)
           of the secure encrypted destination.

       output MAC file
           The file receiving the new current message authentication code
           (MAC) of the secure encrypted destination after import. In case an
           existing file is supplied, new entries will be appended.

       counter
           The current log entry counter of the secure encrypted destination
           after import. This is required if the log entries to be imported
           will be appended to an existing secure encrypted destination.
