== NAME
sdjournal - Provide an interface to capture systemd journal entries.
== SYNOPSIS
[manarg]
*sdjournal*
[ *--help* ]
[ *--version* ]
[ *--extcap-interfaces* ]
[ *--extcap-dlts* ]
[ *--extcap-interface*=<interface> ]
[ *--extcap-config* ]
[ *--capture* ]
[ *--fifo*=<path to file or pipe> ]
[ *--start-from*=<entry count> ]
== DESCRIPTION
*sdjournal* is an extcap tool that allows one to capture systemd
journal entries. It can be used to correlate system events with
network traffic.
Supported interfaces:
1. sdjournal
== OPTIONS
--help::
+
--
Print program arguments.
--
--version::
+
--
Print program version.
--
--extcap-interfaces::
+
--
List available interfaces.
--
--extcap-interface=<interface>::
+
--
Use specified interfaces.
--
--extcap-dlts::
+
--
List DLTs of specified interface.
--
--extcap-config::
+
--
List configuration options of specified interface.
--
--capture::
+
--
Start capturing from specified interface and write raw packet data to the location specified by --fifo.
--
--fifo=<path to file or pipe>::
+
--
Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.
--
--start-from=<entry count>::
+
--
Start from the last <entry count> entries, similar to the
"-n" or "--lines" argument for the tail(1) command. Values prefixed
with a *+* sign start from the beginning of the journal, otherwise
the count starts from the end. The default value is 10. To include
all entries use *+0*.

== EXAMPLES
To see program arguments:
sdjournal --help
To see program version:
sdjournal --version
To see interfaces:
sdjournal --extcap-interfaces
Only one interface (sdjournal) is supported.
.Example output
interface {value=sdjournal}{display=systemd journal capture}
To see interface DLTs:
sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --extcap-dlts
.Example output
dlt {number=147}{name=sdjournal}{display=USER0}
To see interface configuration options:
sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --extcap-config
.Example output
arg {number=0}{call=--start-from}{display=Starting position}{type=string}
{tooltip=The journal starting position. Values with a leading "+" start from the beginning, similar to the "tail" command}
To capture:
sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --fifo=/tmp/sdjournal.pcap --capture
To capture all entries since the system was booted:
sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --fifo=/tmp/sdjournal.pcap --capture --start-from +0
NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate the application.
