Enable systemd journal uploads

Simple example snap to show how to send journal messages from a device to a remote journal server. This uses systemd-journal-upload.

Install the snap

sudo snap install logsync-james --devmode

Note that devmode is needed as the snap needs privileged interfaces. This can be avoided by using a brand store and a snap declaration assertion.

To connect the interfaces:

sudo snap connect logsync:log-observe
sudo snap connect logsync:config-logsync
snap connections logsync-james

Configure the snap

Set up log-sync over HTTP:

sudo snap set logsync-james url="http://example.com:19532"

Set up log-sync with custom certificates:

sudo snap set logsync-james url="https://example.com:19532"
sudo snap set logsync-james cert="/path/to/pem-encoded/certificate"
sudo snap set logsync-james key="/path/to/pem-encoded/certificate-key"
sudo snap set logsync-james ca=`LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBSU0EgUFJJVkFUR...`

The certificate settings (cert, key and ca) can be a path to a file or the base64-encoded file.
