40
41 <para><command>systemd-journal-upload</command> will upload journal entries to the URL specified
42 with <option>--url=</option>. This program reads journal entries from one or more journal files,
43 similarly to
44 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
45 Unless limited by one of the options specified below, all journal entries accessible to the user
46 the program is running as will be uploaded, and then the program will wait and send new entries
47 as they become available.</para>
48
49 <para><filename>systemd-journal-upload.service</filename> is a system service that uses
50 <command>systemd-journal-upload</command> to upload journal entries to a server. It uses the
51 configuration in
52 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-upload.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
53 At least the <varname>URL=</varname> option must be specified.</para>
