.SH "NAME"
systemd-journal-gatewayd.service, systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket, systemd-journal-gatewayd \- HTTP server for journal events

\fB/usr/lib/systemd/systemd\-journal\-gatewayd\fR [OPTIONS...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsystemd\-journal\-gatewayd\fR
serves journal events over the network\&. Clients must connect using HTTP\&. The server listens on port 19531 by default\&. If
\fB\-\-cert=\fR
is specified, the server expects HTTPS connections\&.
.PP
The program is started by
\fBsystemd\fR(1)
and expects to receive a single socket\&. Use
\fBsystemctl start systemd\-journal\-gatewayd\&.socket\fR
to start the service, and
\fBsystemctl enable systemd\-journal\-gatewayd\&.socket\fR
to have it started on boot\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
The following options are understood:
.PP
\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-h\fR
.RS 4
Prints a short help text and exits\&.
.RE

\fB\-\-version\fR
.RS 4
Prints a short version string and exits\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-cert=\fR
.RS 4
Specify the path to a file containing a server certificate in PEM format\&. This option switches
\fBsystemd\-journal\-gatewayd\fR
into HTTPS mode and must be used together with
\fB\-\-key=\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-key=\fR
.RS 4
Specify the path to a file containing a server key in PEM format corresponding to the certificate specified with
\fB\-\-cert=\fR\&.
