This chapter describes the various ways that you can use Lire to process log files to generate reports. The next chapter (Chapter 4, Using DLF Stores) explains how you can set up your system to process your log files automatically at regular interval.
Lire holds its configuration in XML files. To change
          Lire settings, simply fire up lire from
          a terminal and select the
           → 
          menu. From there you can change various settings. To save
          your customized configuration file, press the
           button. Otherwise
          your changes will be saved in the file
          HOME/.lire/config.xml
From the screen, you can change the path to all the external programs that Lire used. This is useful if you installed external programs that weren't present when you built and installed Lire. It is also the place to tweak various settings affecting how the reports are generated.
The list and purpose of each setting is described in the help window while using the tool. The lire command is also used to manage DlfStores, described more fully in the chapter (Chapter 4, Using DLF Stores).
