<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-journald</filename> is a
|
|
system service that collects and stores logging
|
|
data. It creates and maintains structured, indexed
|
|
journals based on logging information that is received
|
|
from the kernel, from user processes via the libc
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
call, from STDOUT/STDERR of system services or via its
|
|
native API. It will implicitly collect numerous meta
|
|
data fields for each log messages in a secure and
|
|
unfakeable way. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about the collected meta data.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Log data collected by the journal is primarily
|
|
text based but can also include binary data where
|
|
necessary. All objects stored in the journal can be up
|
|
to 2^64-1 bytes in size.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>By default the journal stores log data in
|
|
<filename>/run/log/journal/</filename>. Since
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> is volatile log data is
|
|
lost at reboot. To make the data persistent it
|
|
is sufficient to create
|
|
<filename>/var/log/journal/</filename> where
|
|
<filename>systemd-journald</filename> will then store
|
|
the data.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-journald</filename> will
|
|
forward all received log messages to the AF_UNIX
|
|
SOCK_DGRAM socket
|
|
<filename>/run/systemd/journal/syslog</filename> (if it exists) which
|
|
may be used by UNIX syslog daemons to process the data
|
|
further.</para>

|
|
|

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

service.</para>
