<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command> is a command to receive serialized journal
events and store them to journal files. Input streams are in the
<ulink url="https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_EXPORT_FORMATS#journal-export-format">Journal Export Format</ulink>,
i.e. like the output from <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over the
network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an HTTPS connection.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> is a system service that uses
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> to listen for connections.
<filename>systemd-journal-remote.socket</filename> configures the network address that
<filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> listens on. By default this is port 19532.
What connections are accepted and how the received data is stored can be configured through the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-remote.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Sources</title>
<para>
Sources can be either "active"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
the data), or "passive"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
</para>
<para>
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
"accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
</para>
<para>
When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
(there are no listening sockets), then
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
</para>
<para>Active sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-raw=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (cf.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will listen on this
socket for connections. Each connection is expected to be a
stream of journal events.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v239"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-http=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--listen-https=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be
either a negative integer, in which case it will be
interpreted as the (negated) file descriptor number, or an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (c.f.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
In the first case, the server listens on port 19532 by default,
and the matching file descriptor must be inherited through
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>.
In the second case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be spawned on
this port, respectively for <option>--listen-http=</option> and
<option>--listen-https=</option>. Currently, only POST requests
to <filename>/upload</filename> with <literal>Content-Type:
application/vnd.fdo.journal</literal> are supported.</para>

behave like those opened with <option>--listen-raw=</option>
described above, unless they are specified as an argument in
<option>--listen-http=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
or
<option>--listen-https=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
above. In the latter case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be
spawned using this descriptor and connections must be made
over the HTTP protocol.</para>
