ossec-reportd is a program to create reports from OSSEC alerts. ossec-reportd accepts alerts on stdin, and outputs a report on stderr.
Note
Since ossec-reportd outputs to stderr some utilities like less will not work if you do not redirect the output. End the ossec-reportd with 2>&1 to redirect stderr to stdout. more or less can be easily used after the stderr redirect.
chroot to <dir>.
Execute ossec-reportd in debug mode. This option can be used multiple times to increase the verbosity of the debug messages.
Filter the results.
Note
Allowed filters: group, rule, level, location, user, srcip, and filename.
