I am trying to use journalctl
's pattern matching on SYSLOG_IDENTIFIERS
. As an example, I have a ton of message tagged sshd
:
$ journalctl -t sshd | wc -l
987
but if I try to use pattern matching to find them:
$ journalctl -t 'ssh*'
-- No Entries --
$ journalctl -t 'ssh.*'
-- No Entries --
The journalctl man page says patterns should work, but I can't find anything else about how patterns are used/defined in systemd.
$ man journalctl
....
-t, --identifier=SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER|PATTERN
Show messages for the specified syslog identifier SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER,
or for any of the messages with a "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER" matched by PATTERN.
I'm running ArchLinux:
$ journalctl --version
systemd 225
+PAM -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK -SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP
+GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID -ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN
