1 This target provides logging of matching packets. When this target is 2 set for a rule, the Linux kernel will pass the packet to the loaded 3 logging backend to log the packet. This is usually used in combination 4 with nfnetlink_log as logging backend, which will multicast the packet 5 through a 6 .IR netlink 7 socket to the specified multicast group. One or more userspace processes 8 may subscribe to the group to receive the packets. Like LOG, this is a 9 non-terminating target, i.e. rule traversal continues at the next rule. 10 .TP 11 \fB\-\-nflog\-group\fP \fInlgroup\fP 12 The netlink group (0 - 2^16\-1) to which packets are (only applicable for 13 nfnetlink_log). The default value is 0. 14 .TP 15 \fB\-\-nflog\-prefix\fP \fIprefix\fP 16 A prefix string to include in the log message, up to 64 characters 17 long, useful for distinguishing messages in the logs. 18 .TP 19 \fB\-\-nflog\-range\fP \fIsize\fP 20 The number of bytes to be copied to userspace (only applicable for 21 nfnetlink_log). nfnetlink_log instances may specify their own 22 range, this option overrides it. 23 .TP 24 \fB\-\-nflog\-threshold\fP \fIsize\fP 25 Number of packets to queue inside the kernel before sending them 26 to userspace (only applicable for nfnetlink_log). Higher values 27 result in less overhead per packet, but increase delay until the 28 packets reach userspace. The default value is 1. 29 .BR 30
