The ability to dump catalog entries in full and by id is added.

journalctl -u unit is not very useful, because it doesn't show
systemd messages about starting, stopping, coredumps, etc,
like systemctl status unit does. Make it show the same
information using the same rules.
If somebody really want to see just messages from by the unit,
it is easy enough to use _SYSTEMD_UNIT=...

Make sure the pager does not have to buffer an unbounded number of log
messages, by default.
|
|
$ journalctl -be
is what you want :)

The man page says so. Right now 0 would be returned if the data was encrypted,
1 otherwise.

files
Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow
specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to
the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this.
"systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at
installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this
group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS.
This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to
members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since
these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the
system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably
need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts.
This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to
additional users or groups via fs ACLs.

Add --user-unit= to make it possible to query for user logs by the name
of the service.

* python-systemd-reader:
python-systemd: rename Journal to Reader
build-sys: upload python documentation to freedesktop.org
systemd-python: add Journal class for reading journal
python: build html docs using sphinx
journalct: also print Python code in --new-id
python: utilize uuid.UUID in logging
python: add systemd.id128 module
... and 34 other commits
In short: python module systemd.id128 is added, and existing
systemd.journal gains a new class systemd.journal.Reader, which can be
used to iterate over journal entries. Documentation is provided, and
accessible under e.g.
pydoc3 systemd.journal.Reader
or
firefox http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/python-systemd/

Makes it easier to watch just for new entries. Once scenario
is where the user starts 'journalctl -qfn0' to watch for changes
during some operation.

This makes journalctl quit on ferror() conditions on stdout. It fixes an
annoying bug if you pipe its output through 'less' and press 'q'. Without
this fix journalctl will continue reading all journal data until EOF which
can take quite some time. For instance on my machine:
david-nb ~ # time journalctl | wc -l
327240
real 1m13.039s
user 1m0.217s
sys 0m10.467s
However, expected behavior is journalctl to quit when its pager closed the
output pipe.

Yay, we now have a completely generic systemd. No distribution specific checks anymore!
|
|
Sometimes it is better to see messages in full, and the existing
set of options didn't allow this easily. E.g. now
journalctl -f --full
will behave like
tail -f /var/log/messages
of yore.
Long option only for now, since small letters are becoming
scarce, and this doesn't feel like a capital-letter-option.
'-u' would be nice, and the above command would be spelled
journalctl -fu

The message catalog can be used to attach short help texts to log lines,
keyed by their MESSAGE_ID= fields. This is useful to help the
administrator understand the context and cause of a message, find
possible solutions and find further related documentation.
Since this is keyed off MESSAGE_ID= this will only work for native
journal messages.
The message catalog supports i18n, and is useful to augment english
language system messages with explanations in the local language.
This commit only includes short explanatory messages for a few example
message IDs, we'll add more complete documentation for the relevant
systemd messages later on.

This fixes a segfault due to a missing value for --priority. -p is
unaffected because it is specified in the getopt_long parameter list.

journalctl and vconsole-setup both implement utf8 locale detection.
Let's have a common function for it.
The next patch will add another use.

Example:
journalctl -F _SYSTEMD_UNIT
will list all units that ever logged to the journal.
|
|
entries of the journal
The new 'unique' API allows listing all unique field values that a field
specified by a field name can take in all entries of the journal. This
allows answering queries such as "What units logged to the journal?",
"What hosts have logged into the journal?", "Which boot IDs have logged
into the journal?".
Ultimately this allows implementation of tools similar to lastlog based
on journal data.
Note that listing these field values will not work for journal files
created with older journald, as the field values are not indexed in
older files.

This applies unit_name_mangle() to the specified unit names and hence
can handle weird characters nicely and will add unit suffixes as
necessary.
|
|
From now on, always use ANSI-SQL-style comments in log streams, i.e.
prefix with --. We also suffix things with this, just to be nice...

Among other cleanups this introduces a threshold for the size of binary
blobs we serialize as integer arrays in the JSON output. THis can be
disabled via --all.

The old code used a timestamp to print a timespan for unsealed journalfiles,
incorrectly showing things like 2230 days of unsealed entries. Print the timespan
between the first and last entry instead.

This requires a little bit of tip-toeing around to explicitly avoid
touching the environment from a sig handler. Instead, simply create a
function to reset the var to its "unset" state, allowing the next call
to columns() to recalculate and cache the new value.
