I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok! I sleep when idle, then I ship logs all day!
I parse your logs, I eat the JVM agent for lunch!
(This project was recently renamed from 'lumberjack' to 'logstash-forwarder' to
make its intended use clear. The 'lumberjack' name now remains as the network
protocol, and 'logstash-forwarder' is the name of the program. It's still the
same lovely log forwarding program you love.)
If you want to run logstash-forwarder, add to /etc/rc.conf
logstash_forwarder_enable="YES"
Do not forget to edit your configuration file:
Default: ${PREFIX}/etc/logstash-forwarder.conf
Key points
You'll need an SSL CA to verify the server (host) with.
You can specify custom fields for each set of paths in the config file.
Any number of these may be specified. I use them to set fields like type
and other custom attributes relevant to each log.
Generating an ssl certificate
Logstash supports all certificates, including self-signed certificates.
To generate a certificate, you can run the following command:
$ openssl req -x509 -batch -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout \
logstash-forwarder.key -out logstash-forwarder.crt -days 365
This will generate a key at logstash-forwarder.key and the 1-year valid
certificate at logstash-forwarder.crt. Both the server that is running
logstash-forwarder as well as the logstash instances receiving logs will
require these files on disk to verify the authenticity of messages.
PROTECT YOUR KEYS!

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Convert all Go ports to USES=go
This allows for port testing with lang/go-devel via GO_PORT, setting
up the Go build environment in a single place, and is step one in
simplifying Go ports that often define too complicated do-build
targets themselves.
USES=go gains new arguments 'run' to add lang/go to RUN_DEPENDS and
'no_targets' for ports with composite builds that call 'go' themselves
and do not need the do-build/do-install targets of USES=go.
