<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Entries in the journal resemble an environment block in
|
|
their syntax but with fields that can include binary data.
|
|
Primarily, fields are formatted UTF-8 text strings, and binary
|
|
formatting is used only where formatting as UTF-8 text strings
|
|
makes little sense. New fields may freely be defined by
|
|
applications, but a few fields have special meaning. All fields
|
|
with special meanings are optional. In some cases, fields may
|
|
appear more than once per entry.</para>

recommended to be a UUID-compatible ID, but this is not

enforced, and formatted differently. Developers can generate

a new ID for this purpose with <command>journalctl

JSON Format</ulink>, the addresses of journal entries are

serialized into fields prefixed with double underscores. Note that
|
|
these are not proper fields when stored in the journal but for
|
|
addressing metadata of entries. They cannot be written as part of
|
|
structured log entries via calls such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

They may also not be used as matches for
