NAME
       systemd-journal-gatewayd.service, systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket,
       systemd-journal-gatewayd - HTTP server for journal events

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-journal-gatewayd.service

       systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-gatewayd [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-journal-gatewayd serves journal events over the network.
       Clients must connect using HTTP. The server listens on port 19531 by
       default. If --cert= is specified, the server expects HTTPS connections.

       The program is started by systemd(1) and expects to receive a single
       socket. Use systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket to start
       the service, and systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket to
       have it started on boot.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       --cert=
	   Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read the
	   server certificate from. The certificate must be in PEM format.
	   This option switches systemd-journal-gatewayd into HTTPS mode and
	   must be used together with --key=.

	   Added in version 198.

       --key=
	   Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read the
	   secret server key corresponding to the certificate specified with
	   --cert= from. The key must be in PEM format.

	   Added in version 198.

       --trust=
	   Specify the path to a file or AF_UNIX stream socket to read a CA
	   certificate from. The certificate must be in PEM format.

	   Added in version 236.

       --system, --user
	   Limit served entries to entries from system services and the
	   kernel, or to entries from services of current user. This has the
	   same meaning as --system and --user options for journalctl(1). If
	   neither is specified, all accessible entries are served.

	   Added in version 249.

       -m, --merge
	   Serve entries interleaved from all available journals, including
	   other machines. This has the same meaning as --merge option for
	   journalctl(1).

	   Added in version 249.

       -D DIR, --directory=DIR
	   Takes a directory path as argument. If specified,
	   systemd-journal-gatewayd will serve the specified journal directory
	   DIR instead of the default runtime and system journal paths.

	   Added in version 232.

       --file=GLOB
	   Takes a file glob as an argument. Serve entries from the specified
	   journal files matching GLOB instead of the default runtime and
	   system journal paths. May be specified multiple times, in which
	   case files will be suitably interleaved. This has the same meaning
	   as --file= option for journalctl(1).

	   Added in version 249.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

SUPPORTED URLS
       The following URLs are recognized:

       /boots
	   Returns json-seq (RFC 7464) response containing JSON objects, each
	   one containing boot number, its ID and the timestamps of the first
	   and last message. Boots are returned starting with the latest boot
	   first and use the same schema as journalctl --list-boots --output
	   json.

	   Added in version 258.

       /browse
	   Interactive browsing.

	   Added in version 197.

       /entries[?option1&option2=value...]
	   Retrieval of events in various formats.

	   The Accept: part of the HTTP header determines the format.
	   Supported values are described below.

	   The Range: part of the HTTP header determines the range of events
	   returned. Supported values are described below.

	   GET parameters can be used to modify what events are returned.
	   Supported parameters are described below.

	   Added in version 197.

       /machine
	   Return a JSON structure describing the machine.

	   Example:

	       { "machine_id" : "8cf7ed9d451ea194b77a9f118f3dc446",
		 "boot_id" : "3d3c9efaf556496a9b04259ee35df7f7",
		 "hostname" : "fedora",
		 "os_pretty_name" : "Fedora 19 (Rawhide)",
		 "virtualization" : "kvm",
		 ...}

	   Added in version 197.

       /fields/FIELD_NAME
	   Return a list of values of this field present in the logs.

	   Added in version 197.

ACCEPT HEADER
       Accept: format

       Recognized formats:

       text/plain
	   The default. Plaintext syslog-like output, one line per journal
	   entry (like journalctl --output short).

	   Added in version 197.

       application/json
	   Entries are formatted as JSON data structures, one per line (like
	   journalctl --output json). See Journal JSON Format[1] for more
	   information.

	   Added in version 197.

       text/event-stream
	   Entries are formatted as JSON data structures, wrapped in a format
	   suitable for Server-Sent Events[2] (like journalctl --output
	   json-sse).

	   Added in version 229.

       application/vnd.fdo.journal
	   Entries are serialized into a binary (but mostly text-based) stream
	   suitable for backups and network transfer (like journalctl --output
	   export). See Journal Export Format[3] for more information.

	   Added in version 197.

RANGE HEADER
       Range: entries=[cursor][[:num_skip]:[num_entries]]

       Range: realtime=[since]:[until][[:num_skip]:num_entries]

       where cursor is a cursor string, defaults to the first entry, since and
       until are timestamps (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), num_skip
       is an integer, num_entries is an unsigned integer.

       Range defaults to all available events.

       If num_skip is negative and no cursor is given, the last entry will be
       the reference point.

URL GET PARAMETERS
       Following parameters can be used as part of the URL:

       follow
	   wait for new events (like journalctl --follow, the number of events
	   returned is not limited, unless num_entries is specified in the
	   Range header).

	   Added in version 197.

       discrete
	   Test that the specified cursor refers to an entry in the journal.
	   Returns just this entry.

	   Added in version 197.

       boot
	   Limit events to the current boot of the system (like journalctl
	   -b).

	   Added in version 197.

       KEY=match
	   Match journal fields. See systemd.journal-fields(7).

	   Added in version 197.

EXAMPLES
       Retrieve events from this boot from local journal in Journal Export
       Format[3]:

	   curl --silent -H'Accept: application/vnd.fdo.journal' \
		  'http://localhost:19531/entries?boot'

       Listen for core dumps:

	   curl 'http://localhost:19531/entries?follow&MESSAGE_ID=fc2e22bc6ee647b6b90729ab34a250b1'
