This really would be up to you to write the parser for your log files
that then generates Solr documents. Another, option, possibly is if
you can make them CSV files, then you could just upload them.

Hi again,
Further to my last missive, I am looking at Solr as a quick way of
searching log files previously generated by Postfix. I have tried
using
the basic Lucene command line interface to add in the log files and
try
and retrieve data from them, but I can't retrieve the data I need. I
guess this is because the mail log files are not in XML, nor are they
simple text documents.
Is there a way of configuring Solr to index on specific fields,
delimited by = (or other) characters? In an ideal world I would want
some kind of config file such that every night Solr indexes the
previous
night's log file. Afterwards people could search on the From, To,
Date,
Size, DSN or other mail log entry that exists. Probably one of the
most
important (and so, naturally, the most problematical) fields is the
mail
code, which is a string made up of characters but which is not
readable.
Examples are: 4F7D594A33 and B970C9DB65. Also, different lines in the
log file contain different fields so it wouldn't be as simple as "one
line parser fits all".
Would it be possible to generate import filters for this sort of
data to
make the files searchable?
