通过 rsync 将过滤后的文件内容复制到远程服务器

Question

I know how to copy files between servers using rsync. But I was looking for an option where I donot want to copy entire content file on another server. Example:- I want to copy /var/log/messages filtered by todays date on remote server in todays date folder and tomorrows content in tomorrows date folder and so on. Though I can achieve the same by creating temporary files in local node before transferring, but I am looking for a solution where filtered data can be transferred to remote server without creating any local temporary file

Answer 1

where filtered data can be transferred to remote server without creating any local temporary file

Just the same way you do locally, just cat the output to the remote. Along:

cat /var/log/messages | awk 'some filtering here' | ssh server 'cat > /the/destination'

Repeat the process for each file.

The simpler is just the same as creating temporary files you want to transfer - just create them at the destination! Mount sshfs the remote and create them inside the mountpoint.
