I need to collect some stats from my systemd log files, like how many users pass in a certain query string parameter to my service. I know I can view this information in journalctl but I can't figure out how to do so in Go so that I can aggregate the data. I've been looking for a library for this but can't seem to find anything and I can't figure out where the log files are actually stored.
You can get some clues with projects like:
ChimeraCoder/journalctl-goeparis/access-daemonchrissnell/kube-journald-filter which uses coreos/go-systemd/ sdjournal package, with a Journal class following the fields of an actual journal.journal_test.go.Or you could directly forward it to an external syslog, as in pmorton/journalfwd.
