| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para><command>journalctl</command> may be used to |
| query the contents of the |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| journal as written by |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> |
| |
| <para>If called without parameters, it will show the full |
| contents of the journal, starting with the oldest |
| entry collected.</para> |
| |
| <para>If one or more match arguments are passed, the |
| output is filtered accordingly. A match is in the |
| format <literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>, |
| e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>, |
| referring to the components of a structured journal |
| entry. See |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| for a list of well-known fields. If multiple matches |
| are specified matching different fields, the log |
| entries are filtered by both, i.e. the resulting output |
| will show only entries matching all the specified |
| matches of this kind. If two matches apply to the same |
| field, then they are automatically matched as |
| alternatives, i.e. the resulting output will show |
| entries matching any of the specified matches for the |
| same field. Finally, if the character |
| <literal>+</literal> appears as a separate word on the |
| command line, all matches before and after are combined |
| in a disjunction (i.e. logical OR).</para> |
| |
| <para>As shortcuts for a few types of field/value |
| matches, file paths may be specified. If a file path |
| refers to an executable file, this is equivalent to an |
| <literal>_EXE=</literal> match for the canonicalized |
| binary path. Similarly, if a path refers to a device |
| node, this is equivalent to a |
| <literal>_KERNEL_DEVICE=</literal> match for the |
| device.</para> |
| |
| <para>Output is interleaved from all accessible |
| journal files, whether they are rotated or currently |
| being written, and regardless of whether they belong to the |
| system itself or are accessible user journals.</para> |
| |
| <para>All users are granted access to their private |
| per-user journals. However, by default, only root and |
| users who are members of the <literal>systemd-journal</literal> |
| group get access to the system journal and the |
| journals of other users.</para> |
| |
| <para>The output is paged through |
| <command>less</command> by default, and long lines are |
| "truncated" to screen width. The hidden part can be |
| viewed by using the left-arrow and right-arrow |
| keys. Paging can be disabled; see the |
| <option>--no-pager</option> option and the "Environment" |
| section below.</para> |
| |
| <para>When outputing to a tty, lines are colored |
| according to priority: lines of level ERROR and higher |
| are colored red; lines of level NOTICE and higher are |
| highlighted; other lines are displayed normally. |
