Remotelogging with systemd journald - how to use ksystemlog with?

Hello all :slight_smile:

no all us servers running on systemd :b::slight_smile: so we would like to use journald also for remotelogging. And yes we have configured that and it is running fine. We have configured the first 3 servers to send logs to central journaldservice with https and certificate. So on the server it is easy to say:

journalctl --file remote-2001:470:1f0c:568:201:8eff:ff28:d16e.journal -f

But with a lot of IP's this is not very handy.

So we searching vor a GUI/Interface. The only one program that we found that journald is supported is ksystemlog. There i can enter remoteconnection. But i can't set some auth there. How the program connect? If i do the connection the programm say connected, but the logs in the program are emty.

I think that can't be so easy to connect, because that would be an security issue. So how i must conncect to the remote journald Server?

Here are the serverconfigs:

cat /etc/systemd/journal-remote.conf
[Remote]
# Seal=false
# SplitMode=host

ServerKeyFile=/etc/ssl/private-journal-remote/journal-remote.pem
ServerCertificateFile=/etc/ssl/certs/journal-remote.pem
TrustedCertificateFile=/etc/ssl/ca/trusted.pem


cat /etc/systemd/system/systemd-journal-remote.service
