Journalwatch

`services.journalwatch.accuracy`

The time window around the interval in which the journalwatch run will be scheduled.

The format is described in systemd.time(7).

Type: string

Default

"10min"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.enable`

If enabled, periodically check the journal with journalwatch and report the results by mail.

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.extraConfig`

Extra lines to be added verbatim to the journalwatch/config configuration file. You can add any commandline argument to the config, without the '--'. See journalwatch --help for all arguments and their description.

Type: string

Default

""

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.filterBlocks`

filterBlocks can be defined to blacklist journal messages which are not errors. Each block matches on a log entry field, and the filters in that block then are matched against all messages with a matching log entry field.

All messages whose PRIORITY is at least 6 (INFO) are processed by journalwatch. If you don't specify any filterBlocks, PRIORITY is reduced to 5 (NOTICE) by default.

All regular expressions are extended Python regular expressions, for details see: http://doc.pyschools.com/html/regex.html

Type: list of (submodule)

Default

[{filters = '' (Stopped|Stopping|Starting|Started) .* (Created slice|Removed slice) user-\d*\.slice\. Received SIGRTMIN\+24 from PID .* (Reached target|Stopped target) .* Startup finished in \d*ms\. '';match = "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER = systemd";}]

Example

[{filters = '' New session [a-z]?\d+ of user \w+\. Removed session [a-z]?\d+\. '';match = "_SYSTEMD_UNIT = systemd-logind.service";}{filters = '' pam_unix$crond:session$: session (opened|closed) for user \w+ $\w+$ CMD .* '';match = "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER = /(CROND|crond)/";}]

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.filterBlocks.*.filters`

The filters to apply on all messages which satisfy {option}match. Any of those messages that match any specified filter will be removed from journalwatch's output. Each filter is an extended Python regular expression. You can specify multiple filters and separate them by newlines. Lines starting with '#' are comments. Inline-comments are not permitted.

Type: string

Example

'' (Stopped|Stopping|Starting|Started) .* (Reached target|Stopped target) .*''

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.filterBlocks.*.match`

Syntax: field = value Specifies the log entry field this block should apply to. If the field of a message matches this value, this patternBlock's {option}filters are applied. If value starts and ends with a slash, it is interpreted as an extended python regular expression, if not, it's an exact match. The journal fields are explained in systemd.journal-fields(7).

Type: string

Example

"SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER = systemd"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.interval`

How often to run journalwatch.

The format is described in systemd.time(7).

Type: string

Default

"hourly"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.mailBinary`

Sendmail-compatible binary to be used to send the messages.

Type: path

Default

"/run/wrappers/bin/sendmail"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.mailFrom`

Mail address to send journalwatch reports from.

Type: string

Default

"journalwatch@${config.networking.hostName}"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.mailTo`

Mail address to send journalwatch reports to.

Type: null or string

Default

null

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.package`

The journalwatch package to use. Type: package

Default

pkgs.journalwatch

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/logging/journalwatch.nix

`services.journalwatch.priority`

Lowest priority of message to be considered. A value between 7 ("debug"), and 0 ("emerg"). Defaults to 6 ("info"). If you don't care about anything with "info" priority, you can reduce this to e.g. 5 ("notice") to considerably reduce the amount of messages without needing many {option}filterBlocks.

Type: signed integer

Default

6
