    <para><command>systemd-journal-upload</command> will upload journal entries to the URL specified
    with <option>--url=</option>. This program reads journal entries from one or more journal files,
    similarly to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    Unless limited by one of the options specified below, all journal entries accessible to the user
    the program is running as will be uploaded, and then the program will wait and send new entries
    as they become available.</para>
    
    <para><command>systemd-journal-upload</command> transfers the raw content of journal file and
    uses HTTP as a transport protocol.</para> 
    
    <para><filename>systemd-journal-upload.service</filename> is a system service that uses
    <command>systemd-journal-upload</command> to upload journal entries to a server. It uses the
    configuration in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-upload.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    At least the <varname>URL=</varname> option must be specified.</para>
