65 <title>Description
</title>
67 <para><command>systemd-journal-gatewayd
</command> serves journal
68 events over the network. Clients must connect using
69 HTTP. The server listens on port

70 If
<option>--cert=
</option> is specified, the server expects
71 HTTPS connections.

73 <para>The program is started by
74 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd

76 <command>systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket
</command> to start
77 the service, and
<command>systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket
</command>
78 to have it started on boot.
