SYSTEM...SERVICE(8) systemd-journal-gatewayd.service SYSTEM...SERVICE(8)

NAME         top

       systemd-journal-gatewayd.service, systemd-journal-
       gatewayd.socket, systemd-journal-gatewayd - HTTP server for
       journal events

SYNOPSIS         top

       systemd-journal-gatewayd.service

       systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-gatewayd [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-journal-gatewayd serves journal events over the network.
       Clients must connect using HTTP. The server listens on port 19531
       by default. If --cert= is specified, the server expects HTTPS
       connections.

       The program is started by systemd(1) and expects to receive a
       single socket. Use systemctl start
       systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket to start the service, and
       systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket to have it
       started on boot.

OPTIONS         top

       The following options are understood:

       --cert=
           Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read
           the server certificate from. The certificate must be in PEM
           format. This option switches systemd-journal-gatewayd into
           HTTPS mode and must be used together with --key=.

           Added in version 198.

       --key=
           Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read
           the secret server key corresponding to the certificate
           specified with --cert= from. The key must be in PEM format.

           Added in version 198.

       --trust=
           Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read a
           CA certificate from. The certificate must be in PEM format.

           Added in version 236.

       --system, --user
           Limit served entries to entries from system services and the
           kernel, or to entries from services of current user. This has
           the same meaning as --system and --user options for
           journalctl(1). If neither is specified, all accessible
           entries are served.

           Added in version 249.

       -m, --merge
           Serve entries interleaved from all available journals,
           including other machines. This has the same meaning as
           --merge option for journalctl(1).

           Added in version 249.

       -D DIR, --directory=DIR
           Takes a directory path as argument. If specified,
           systemd-journal-gatewayd will serve the specified journal
           directory DIR instead of the default runtime and system
           journal paths.

           Added in version 232.

       --file=GLOB
           Takes a file glob as an argument. Serve entries from the
           specified journal files matching GLOB instead of the default
           runtime and system journal paths. May be specified multiple
           times, in which case files will be suitably interleaved. This
           has the same meaning as --file= option for journalctl(1).

           Added in version 249.

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

SUPPORTED URLS         top

       The following URLs are recognized:

       /browse
           Interactive browsing.

           Added in version 197.

       /entries[?option1&option2=value...]
           Retrieval of events in various formats.

           The Accept: part of the HTTP header determines the format.
           Supported values are described below.

           The Range: part of the HTTP header determines the range of
           events returned. Supported values are described below.

           GET parameters can be used to modify what events are
           returned. Supported parameters are described below.

           Added in version 197.

       /machine
           Return a JSON structure describing the machine.

           Example:

               { "machine_id" : "8cf7ed9d451ea194b77a9f118f3dc446",
                 "boot_id" : "3d3c9efaf556496a9b04259ee35df7f7",

ACCEPT HEADER         top

       Accept: format

       Recognized formats:

       text/plain
           The default. Plaintext syslog-like output, one line per
           journal entry (like journalctl --output short).

           Added in version 197.

       application/json
           Entries are formatted as JSON data structures, one per line
           (like journalctl --output json). See Journal JSON Format[1]
           for more information.

           Added in version 197.

       text/event-stream
           Entries are formatted as JSON data structures, wrapped in a
           format suitable for Server-Sent Events[2] (like journalctl
           --output json-sse).

           Added in version 229.

       application/vnd.fdo.journal
           Entries are serialized into a binary (but mostly text-based)
           stream suitable for backups and network transfer (like
           journalctl --output export). See Journal Export Format[3] for
           more information.

           Added in version 197.

RANGE HEADER         top

       Range: entries=cursor[[:num_skip]:num_entries]

       Range: realtime=[since]:[until][[:num_skip]:num_entries]

       (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), num_skip is an integer,
       num_entries is an unsigned integer.

       Range defaults to all available events.

URL GET PARAMETERS         top

       Following parameters can be used as part of the URL:

       follow
           wait for new events (like journalctl --follow, except that
           the number of events returned is not limited).

           Added in version 197.

       discrete
           Test that the specified cursor refers to an entry in the
           journal. Returns just this entry.

           Added in version 197.

       boot
           Limit events to the current boot of the system (like
           journalctl -b).

           Added in version 197.

       KEY=match
           Match journal fields. See systemd.journal-fields(7).

           Added in version 197.
