NAME
systemd-journal-upload - Send journal messages over the network
SYNOPSIS
systemd-journal-upload [OPTIONS...] [-u/--url=URL] [SOURCES...]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-journal-upload will upload journal entries to the URL specified with --url. Unless limited by one of
the options specified below, all journal entries accessible to the user the program is running as will be
uploaded, and then the program will wait and send new entries as they become available.
OPTIONS
-u, --url=[https://]URL, --url=[http://]URL
Upload to the specified address. URL may specify either just the hostname or both the protocol and
hostname. https is the default.
--system, --user
Limit uploaded 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 uploaded.
-m, --merge
Upload entries interleaved from all available journals, including other machines. This has the same
meaning as --merge option for journalctl(1).
-D, --directory=DIR
Takes a directory path as argument. Upload entries from the specified journal directory DIR instead of the
default runtime and system journal paths. This has the same meaning as --directory option for
journalctl(1).
--file=GLOB
Takes a file glob as an argument. Upload 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).
--cursor=
Upload entries from the location in the journal specified by the passed cursor. This has the same meaning
as --cursor option for journalctl(1).
--after-cursor=
Upload entries from the location in the journal after the location specified by the this cursor. This has
the same meaning as --after-cursor option for journalctl(1).
--save-state[=PATH]
Upload entries from the location in the journal after the location specified by the cursor saved in file
at PATH (/var/lib/systemd/journal-upload/state by default). After an entry is successfully uploaded,
update this file with the cursor of that entry.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned; otherwise, a non-zero failure code is returned.

Generated files ca.pem, server.pem, and server.key should be installed on server, and ca.pem, client.pem, and
client.key on the client. The location of those files can be specified using TrustedCertificateFile=,
ServerCertificateFile=, ServerKeyFile=, in /etc/systemd/journal-remote.conf and
/etc/systemd/journal-upload.conf respectively. The default locations can be queried by using
systemd-journal-remote --help and systemd-journal-upload --help.
