+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <filename>systemd-journal-remote</filename> is a command to
+ receive serialized journal events and store them to the journal.
+ Input streams are in the
+ <ulink url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">
+ Journal Export Format
+ </ulink>,
+ i.e. like the output from
+ <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over
+ the network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an
+ HTTPS connection.
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Sources</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sources can be either "active"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
+ the data), or "passive"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
+ connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
+ event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
+ file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
+ stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
+ result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
+ "accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
+ multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
+ (there are no listening sockets), then
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Active sources can be specified in the following
+ ways:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <listitem><para>When <option>-</option> is given as a
+ positional argument, events will be read from standard input.
+ Other positional arguments will be treated as filenames

+
+ <listitem><para>With the

+ root of a remote

+ <ulink>https://some.host:19531/</ulink>).</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+
+ <para>Passive sources can be specified in the following
+ ways:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--listen-raw=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be an
+ address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (cf.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will listen on this
+ socket for connections. Each connection is expected to be a
+ stream of journal events.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--listen-http=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
+ <term><option>--listen-https=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be
+ either a negative integer, in which case it will be
+ interpreted as the (negated) file descriptor number, or an
+ address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (c.f.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ In the first case, matching file descriptor must be inherited
+ through
+ <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>.
+ In the second case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be spawned on
+ this port, respectively for <option>--listen-http</option> and
+ <option>--listen-https</option>. Currently, only POST requests
+ to <filename>/upload</filename> with <literal>Content-Type:

+ described above, unless they are specified as an argument in
+ <option>--listen-http=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
+ or
+ <option>--listen-https=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
