<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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>User Journal Fields</title>
<para>User fields are fields that are directly passed from clients
and stored in the journal.</para>
<variablelist class='journal-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>MESSAGE=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>The human-readable message string for this entry. This
is supposed to be the primary text shown to the user. It is
usually not translated (but might be in some cases), and is
not supposed to be parsed for metadata.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>MESSAGE_ID=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A 128-bit message identifier ID for recognizing
certain message types, if this is desirable. This should
contain a 128-bit ID formatted as a lower-case hexadecimal
string, without any separating dashes or suchlike. This is
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
<option>--new-id</option></command>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>PRIORITY=</varname></term>

string. This field is compatible with syslog's priority
concept.</para>

function name.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ERRNO=</varname></term>

<term><varname>SYSLOG_PID=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Syslog compatibility fields containing the facility
(formatted as decimal string), the identifier string (i.e.
"tag"), and the client PID. (Note that the tag is usually
derived from glibc's

a block device, the major and minor of the device node,
separated by <literal>:</literal> and prefixed by
<literal>b</literal>. Similar for character devices but
prefixed by <literal>c</literal>. For network devices, this
is the interface index prefixed by <literal>n</literal>. For

<title>Address Fields</title>
<para>During serialization into external formats, such as the
<ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">Journal
Export Format</ulink> or the <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/json">Journal
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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry></para>
<variablelist class='journal-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>__CURSOR=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>The cursor for the entry. A cursor is an opaque text
string that uniquely describes the position of an entry in
the journal and is portable across machines, platforms and
journal files.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>__REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>The wallclock time
(<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>) at the point in time
the entry was received by the journal, in microseconds since
the epoch UTC, formatted as a decimal string. This has
different properties from
<literal>_SOURCE_REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=</literal>, as it is
usually a bit later but more likely to be monotonic.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>__MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>The monotonic time
(<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>) at the point in time
the entry was received by the journal in microseconds,
formatted as a decimal string. To be useful as an address
for the entry, this should be combined with the boot ID in
<literal>_BOOT_ID=</literal>.
