<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-journal-gatewayd</command> serves journal
events over the network. Clients must connect using
HTTP. The server listens on port 19531 by default.
If <option>--cert=</option> is specified, the server expects
HTTPS connections.</para>
<para>The program is started by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and expects to receive a single socket. Use
<command>systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket</command> to start
the service, and <command>systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket</command>
to have it started on boot.</para>
