This target provides logging of matching packets. When this target is set for a rule, the Linux kernel will pass the packet to the loaded logging backend to log the packet. This is usually used in combination with nfnetlink_log as logging backend, which will multicast the packet through a .IR netlink socket to the specified multicast group. One or more userspace processes may subscribe to the group to receive the packets. Like LOG, this is a non-terminating target, i.e. rule traversal continues at the next rule. .TP .BI "--nflog-group " "nlgroup" The netlink group (1 - 2^32-1) to which packets are (only applicable for nfnetlink_log). The default value is 0. .TP .BI "--nflog-prefix " "prefix" A prefix string to include in the log message, up to 64 characters long, useful for distinguishing messages in the logs. .TP .BI "--nflog-range " "size" The number of bytes to be copied to userspace (only applicable for nfnetlink_log). nfnetlink_log instances may specify their own range, this option overrides it. .TP .BI "--nflog-threshold " "size" Number of packets to queue inside the kernel before sending them to userspace (only applicable for nfnetlink_log). Higher values result in less overhead per packet, but increase delay until the packets reach userspace. The default value is 1. .BR
