<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-journal-upload</command> will upload journal entries to the URL specified
with <option>--url=</option>. This program reads journal entries from one or more journal files,
similarly to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Unless limited by one of the options specified below, all journal entries accessible to the user
the program is running as will be uploaded, and then the program will wait and send new entries
as they become available.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-journal-upload.service</filename> is a system service that uses
<command>systemd-journal-upload</command> to upload journal entries to a server. It uses the
configuration in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-upload.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
At least the <varname>URL=</varname> option must be specified.</para>

is minimally recommended to use for security reasons:</para>
