On a client site which should already have journald please install additionally [systemd-journal-upload](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-journal-upload.service.html) and edit `/etc/systemd/journal-upload.conf` and set `URL` to VictoriaLogs endpoint:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Upload]
|
|
URL=http://localhost:9428/insert/journald
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Substitute the `localhost:9428` address inside `endpoints` section with the real TCP address of VictoriaLogs.
|
|
|
|
Since neither HTTP query arguments nor HTTP headers are configurable on systemd-journal-upload,
|
|
[stream fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields) and other params can be configured on VictoriaLogs using command-line flags:
|
|
- `journald.streamFields` - configures [stream fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields) for ingested data.
|
|
Here's a [list of supported Journald fields](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.journal-fields.html)
|
|
- `journald.ignoreFields` - configures Journald fields, that should be ignored.
|
|
- `journald.tenantID` - configures TenantID for ingested data.
|
|
- `journald.timeField` - configures time field for ingested data.
