pg\_journal =========== This is a PostgreSQL preload module for sending log messages directly to the systemd journal log. Prerequisites: * PostgreSQL version 9.2+ (earlier versions supported with a server patch). * systemd v38 or newer with libsystemd-journal installed. Installation ------------ To use this module, you need PostgreSQL version 9.2 or later. To use with earlier versions, you need to patch and build your server manually. The necessary patch is included under `patches/logging-hooks.patch` (courtesy of Martin Pihlak). You also need a recent enough version of systemd (v38+) with the journal feature and library (`libsystemd-journal.so`) enabled. After satisfying these requirements, just do this: make make install If you encounter an error such as: "Makefile", line 8: Need an operator You need to use GNU make, which may well be installed on your system as `gmake`: gmake gmake install If you encounter an error such as: make: pg_config: Command not found Be sure that you have `pg_config` installed and in your path. If you used a package management system such as RPM to install PostgreSQL, be sure that the `-devel` package is also installed. If necessary tell the build process where to find it: env PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config make && make install Once pg\_journal is installed, you can enable it in your configuration file. Find the `postgresql.conf` file (usually in your PostgreSQL data directory) and add the following line: shared_preload_libaries = 'pg_journal' You need to restart your server for this to take effect. After that, log messages are automatically sent to journal. For more details, please see the `doc/pg_journal` documentation file.
