ZJS
43 <para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command> is a command to receive serialized journal
44 events and store them to journal files. Input streams are in the
717e92ce 45 <ulink url="https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_EXPORT_FORMATS#journal-export-format">Journal Export Format</ulink>,
3dd22749
ZJS
46 i.e. like the output from <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over the
47 network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an HTTPS connection.</para>
48
49 <para><filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> is a system service that uses
50 <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> to listen for connections.
51 <filename>systemd-journal-remote.socket</filename> configures the network address that
52 <filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> listens on. By default this is port 19532.
53 What connections are accepted and how the received data is stored can be configured through the
54 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-remote.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

62 Sources can be either "active"
63 (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
64 the data), or "passive"

70 <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
71 event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
72 file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
b8bde116 73 stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
fdfccdbc
ZJS
74 result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
75 "accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
76 multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
