    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-journal-gatewayd</command> serves journal
    events over the network. Clients must connect using
    HTTP. The server listens on port 19531 by default.
    If <option>--cert=</option> is specified, the server expects
    HTTPS connections.</para>

    <para>The program is started by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    and expects to receive a single socket. Use
    <command>systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket</command> to start
    the service, and <command>systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.socket</command>
    to have it started on boot.</para>
