<summary>
<p>This module provides "journald" ErrorLog provider. It allows logging
error messages and CustomLog/TransferLog via systemd-journald(8).</p>

<section id="structured">
<title>Structured logging</title>
<p>Systemd-journald allows structured logging and therefore it is
possible to filter logged messages according to various variables.
Currently supported variables are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>LOG</code></dt>
<dd>The name of the log. For ErrorLog, the value is "error_log".
For CustomLog or TransferLog, the value is the first argument of
these directives.</dd>
<dt><code>REQUEST_HOSTNAME</code></dt>
<dd>Host, as set by full URI or Host: header in the request.</dd>
<dt><code>REQUEST_USER</code></dt>
<dd>If an authentication check was made, this gets set to the user
name.</dd>
<dt><code>REQUEST_USERAGENT_IP</code></dt>
<dd>The address that originated the request.</dd>
<dt><code>REQUEST_URI</code></dt>
<dd>The path portion of the URI, or "/" if no path provided.</dd>
<dt><code>SERVER_HOSTNAME</code></dt>
<dd>The hostname of server for which the log message has been
generated.</dd>
</dl>
<p>These variables can be for example used to show only log messages
for particular URI using <code>journalctl</code>:
</p>
<highlight>journalctl REQUEST_URI=/index.html -a</highlight>
<p>For more examples, see systemd-journalctl documentation.</p>

<title>Examples</title>
<p>Using <code>journald</code> in ErrorLog directive (see <module>core</module>)
instead of a filename enables logging via systemd-journald(8)
if the system supports it.

<description>Enable logging of CustomLog/TransferLog to systemd-journald</description>

<usage>
<p>The <directive>JournaldCustomLog</directive> directive enables logging
of CustomLog and TransferLog messages to systemd-journald.
</p>
<note type="warning"><title>Performance warning</title><p>
Currently, systemd-journald is not designed for high-throughput logging
and logging access_log to systemd-journald could decrease the performance
a lot.
