## DESCRIPTION



           These files configure various parameters of

           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 [Upload] section:
    
           _URL=_
               The URL to upload the journal entries to. See the description
               of **--url=** option in systemd-journal-upload(8) for the
               description of possible values. There is no default value, so
               either this option or the command-line option must be always
               present to make an upload.
    
               Added in version 232.
    
           _ServerKeyFile=_
               SSL key in PEM format.
    
               Added in version 232.
    
           _ServerCertificateFile=_
               SSL CA certificate in PEM format.
    
               Added in version 232.
    
           _TrustedCertificateFile=_
               SSL CA certificate.
    
               Added in version 232.
    
           _NetworkTimeoutSec=_
               When network connectivity to the server is lost, this option
               configures the time to wait for the connectivity to get
               restored. If the server is not reachable over the network for
               the configured time, **systemd-journal-upload** exits. Takes a
               value in seconds (or in other time units if suffixed with
               "ms", "min", "h", etc). For details, see systemd.time(7).
    
               Added in version 249.
    
           _Compression=_
               Configures compression algorithm to be applied to logs data
               before sending. Takes a space separated list of compression
               algorithms, or "no". Supported algorithms are "zstd", "xz", or
               "lz4". Optionally, each algorithm followed by a colon (":")
               and its compression level, for example "zstd:4". The
               compression level is expected to be a positive integer. When
               "no" is specified, no compression algorithm will be applied to
               data to be sent. This option can be specified multiple times.
               If an empty string is assigned, then all previous assignments
               are cleared. Defaults to unset, and all supported compression
               algorithms with their default compression levels are listed.
    
               Example:
    
                   Compression=zstd:4 lz4:2
    
               Even when compression is enabled, the initial requests are
               sent without compression. It becomes effective either if
               "ForceCompression=" is enabled, or the server response
               contains "Accept-Encoding" headers with a list of compression
               algorithms that contains one of the algorithms specified in
               this option.
    
               Added in version 258.
    
           _ForceCompression=_
               Takes a boolean value, enforces using compression without
               content encoding negotiation. Defaults to "false".
    
               Added in version 258.
    
           _Header=_
               Specifies an additional HTTP header to be added to each
               request to a URL. Takes a pair of header name and value
               separated with a colon(":"), e.g.  "Name:Value". Header name
               can contain alphanumeric values, "_" and "-" symbols
               additionally. This option may be specified more than once, in
               which case all listed headers will be set. If the same header
               name is listed more than once, all its unique values will be
               concatenated with comma. Setting _Header=_ to empty string
               clears all previous assignments.
    
               Example:
    
                   Header=HeaderName: HeaderValue
                   Header=HeaderName: NewValue
                   Header=HeaderName: HeaderValue
    
               adds "HeaderName" header with "HeaderValue, NewValue" to each
               HTTP request.
    
               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.
