The journald input integration reads logs from the journald
system service.
The journald input reads the log data and the metadata associated with it.
The journald input is available on Linux systems with systemd
installed.
An example event looks as follows:
{ "@timestamp": "2020-07-22T13:17:10.012Z", "agent": { "ephemeral_id": "f7858fe6-ce04-46d6-83c3-f45a4e019395", "id": "26693255-8a33-48c9-87cc-3d5f846c4bcd", "name": "docker-fleet-agent", "type": "filebeat", "version": "8.11.0" }, "data_stream": { "dataset": "journald.logs", "namespace": "ep", "type": "logs" }, "ecs": { "version": "8.0.0" }, "elastic_agent": { "id": "26693255-8a33-48c9-87cc-3d5f846c4bcd", "snapshot": true, "version": "8.11.0" }, "event": { "agent_id_status": "verified", "code": "ec387f577b844b8fa948f33cad9a75e6", "created": "2023-10-02T18:19:38.048Z", "dataset": "journald.logs", "ingested": "2023-10-02T18:19:41Z", "kind": "event" }, "host": { "hostname": "sleipnir", "id": "505afdafda3b4f33a63749ae39284742" }, "input": { "type": "journald" }, "journald": { "custom": { "available": "0", "available_pretty": "0B", "current_use": "1023455232", "current_use_pretty": "976.0M", "disk_available": "6866636800", "disk_available_pretty": "6.3G", "disk_keep_free": "1466253312", "disk_keep_free_pretty": "1.3G", "journal_name": "System journal", "journal_path": "/var/log/journal/505afdafda3b4f33a63749ae39284742", "limit": "977502208", "limit_pretty": "932.2M", "max_use": "977502208", "max_use_pretty": "932.2M" }, "gid": 0, "host": { "boot_id": "fa3c2e3080dc4cd5be5cb5a43e140d51" }, "pid": 19317, "process": { "capabilities": "25402800cf", "command_line": "/lib/systemd/systemd-journald", "executable": "/lib/systemd/systemd-journald", "name": "systemd-journal" }, "uid": 0 }, "log": { "syslog": { "appname": "systemd-journald", "facility": { "code": 3 }, "priority": 6 } }, "message": "System journal (/var/log/journal/505afdafda3b4f33a63749ae39284742) is 976.0M, max 932.2M, 0B free.", "process": { "args": [ "/lib/systemd/systemd-journald" ], "args_count": 1, "command_line": "/lib/systemd/systemd-journald", "pid": 19317, "thread": { "capabilities": { "effective": [ "CAP_CHOWN", "CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE", "CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH", "CAP_FOWNER", "CAP_SETGID", "CAP_SETUID", "CAP_SYS_PTRACE", "CAP_SYS_ADMIN", "CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL", "CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE", "CAP_SYSLOG", "CAP_AUDIT_READ" ] } } }, "systemd": { "cgroup": "/system.slice/systemd-journald.service", "invocation_id": "7c11cda63635437bafe21c92851618a8", "slice": "system.slice", "transport": "driver", "unit": "systemd-journald.service" }, "tags": [ "forwarded" ], "user": { "group": { "id": "0" }, "id": "0" } }
