+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command> is a command to receive serialized journal
+ events and store them to journal files. Input streams are in the
+ <ulink url="https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_EXPORT_FORMATS#journal-export-format">Journal Export Format</ulink>,
+ i.e. like the output from <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over the
+ network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an HTTPS connection.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> is a system service that uses
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> to listen for connections.
+ <filename>systemd-journal-remote.socket</filename> configures the network address that
+ <filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> listens on. By default this is port 19532.
+ What connections are accepted and how the received data is stored can be configured through the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-remote.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ configuration file.</para>

+ <title>Sources</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sources can be either "active"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
+ the data), or "passive"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
+ connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
+ event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
+ file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
+ stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
+ result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
+ "accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
+ multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
+ (there are no listening sockets), then
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
+ </para>
