namespace¶

Writes journal entries to a specific systemd journal namespace instead of the default target.

This parameter applies to omjournal: Systemd Journal Output.

Name:: namespace
Scope:: input
Type:: word
Default:: none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.2406.0 (requires systemd v256+)

Description¶

Starting from systemd v256, the journal supports namespaces. This allows you to write to a specific namespace in the journal, which can be useful for isolating logs from different applications or components.

However, this feature has important limitations:

This parameter is mutually exclusive with the template parameter. If both are specified for the same action, the action fails with an error.
Namespaces must be created before use. If a namespace does not exist, the action fails and logs an error. Create namespaces by adding directories under /var/log/journal/. For more information, see the systemd-journald.service(8) man page.
