           for the service accepting remote journal uploads
    


## SYNOPSIS



               /etc/systemd/journal-remote.conf
               /run/systemd/journal-remote.conf
               /usr/local/lib/systemd/journal-remote.conf
               /usr/lib/systemd/journal-remote.conf
               /etc/systemd/journal-remote.conf.d/*.conf
               /run/systemd/journal-remote.conf.d/*.conf
               /usr/local/lib/systemd/journal-remote.conf.d/*.conf

## DESCRIPTION



           These files configure various parameters of
           systemd-journal-remote.service(8). See systemd.syntax(7) for a
           general description of the syntax.
    


## CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES AND PRECEDENCE



           The default configuration is set during compilation, so
           configuration is only needed when it is necessary to deviate from
           those defaults. The main configuration file is loaded from one of
           the listed directories in order of priority, only the first file
           found is used: /etc/systemd/, /run/systemd/,
           /usr/local/lib/systemd/ [1], /usr/lib/systemd/. The vendor version
           of the file contains commented out entries showing the defaults as
           a guide to the administrator. Local overrides can also be created
           by creating drop-ins, as described below. The main configuration
           file can also be edited for this purpose (or a copy in /etc/ if it
           is shipped under /usr/), however using drop-ins for local
           configuration is recommended over modifications to the main
           configuration file.
    
           In addition to the main configuration file, drop-in configuration
           snippets are read from /usr/lib/systemd/*.conf.d/,
           /usr/local/lib/systemd/*.conf.d/, and /etc/systemd/*.conf.d/.
           Those drop-ins have higher precedence and override the main
           configuration file. Files in the *.conf.d/ configuration
           subdirectories are sorted by their filename in lexicographic
           order, regardless of in which of the subdirectories they reside.
           When multiple files specify the same option, for options which
           accept just a single value, the entry in the file sorted last
           takes precedence, and for options which accept a list of values,
           entries are collected as they occur in the sorted files.
    
           When packages need to customize the configuration, they can
           install drop-ins under /usr/. Files in /etc/ are reserved for the
           local administrator, who may use this logic to override the
           configuration files installed by vendor packages. Drop-ins have to
           be used to override package drop-ins, since the main configuration
           file has lower precedence. It is recommended to prefix all
           filenames in those subdirectories with a two-digit number and a
           dash, to simplify the ordering. This also defines a concept of
           drop-in priorities to allow OS vendors to ship drop-ins within a
           specific range lower than the range used by users. This should
           lower the risk of package drop-ins overriding accidentally
           drop-ins defined by users. It is recommended to use the range
           10-40 for drop-ins in /usr/ and the range 60-90 for drop-ins in
           /etc/ and /run/, to make sure that local and transient drop-ins
           take priority over drop-ins shipped by the OS vendor.
    
           To disable a configuration file supplied by the vendor, the
           recommended way is to place a symlink to /dev/null in the
           configuration directory in /etc/, with the same filename as the
           vendor configuration file.
    


## OPTIONS



           All options are configured in the [Remote] section:
    
           _Seal=_
               Periodically sign the data in the journal using Forward Secure
               Sealing.
    
               Added in version 229.
    
           _SplitMode=_
               One of "host" or "none".
    
               Added in version 220.
    
           _ServerKeyFile=_
               SSL key in PEM format.
    
               Added in version 220.
    
           _ServerCertificateFile=_
               SSL certificate in PEM format.
    
               Added in version 220.
    
           _TrustedCertificateFile=_
               SSL CA certificate.
    
               Added in version 220.
    
           _MaxUse=_ , _KeepFree=_ , _MaxFileSize=_ , _MaxFiles=_
               These are analogous to _SystemMaxUse=_ , _SystemKeepFree=_ ,
               _SystemMaxFileSize=_ and _SystemMaxFiles=_ in journald.conf(5).
    
               _MaxUse=_ controls how much disk space the
               **systemd-journal-remote** may use up at most.  _KeepFree=_ controls
               how much disk space **systemd-journal-remote** shall leave free
               for other uses.  **systemd-journal-remote** will respect both
               limits and use the smaller of the two values.
    
               _MaxFiles=_ controls how many individual journal files to keep
               at most. Note that only archived files are deleted to reduce
               the number of files until this limit is reached; active files
               will stay around. This means that, in effect, there might
               still be more journal files around in total than this limit
               after a vacuuming operation is complete.
    
               Added in version 253.
    
           _Compression=_
               Configurs acceptable compression algorithms to be announced
               through "Accept-Encoding" HTTP header. The header suggests
               **systemd-journal-upload** to compress data to be sent. Takes a
               space separated list of compression algorithms, or "no".
               Supported algorithms are "zstd", "xz", or "lz4". When a list
               of algorithms is specified, "Accept-Encoding" header will be
               constructed with priorities based on the order of the
               algorithms in the list. When "no", "Accept-Encoding" header
               will not be sent. This option can be specified multiple times.
               If an empty string is assigned, then all the previous
               assignments are cleared. Defaults to unset and all supported
               compression algorithms will be listed in the header.
    
               Example:
    
                   Compression=zstd lz4
    
               Added in version 258.
    


## NOTES



            1. 💣💥🧨💥💥💣 Please note that those configuration files must
               be available at all times. If /usr/local/ is a separate
               partition, it may not be available during early boot, and must
               not be used for configuration.
