You would first create a custom DLF schema for your application and then write 
a DLF converter for that schema. You can then write report specifications to 
compute your reports. Since your log format is based on syslog you will be 
able to reuse the syslog parsing code (Lire::Syslog).

The developer's manual includes chapters on writing a DLF schema, a DLF 
converter and reports specifications. You will also find an example in the 
doc/examples subdirectory in the source tar ball.
