Journald configuration files

The journald.conf file is a key=value file with hash comments. Everything is in the [Journal] section, so sections are ignored.

Only active settings lines are processed, commented out settings are not processed.

Active settings are provided using the get_active_settings_value method or by using the dictionary contains functionality.

Options that are commented out are not returned - a rule using this parser has to be aware of which default value is assumed by systemd if the particular option is not specified.

Note: Precedence logic is implemented in JournaldConfAll combiner, the parser is called for every file separately.

Parsers provided by this module are:

EtcJournaldConf - file /etc/systemd/journald.conf

EtcJournaldConfD - file /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/*.conf

UsrJournaldConfD - file usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/*.conf

Example

>>> conf = shared[EtcJournaldConf]
>>> conf.get_active_setting_value('Storage')
'auto'
>>> 'Storage' in conf.active_settings
True
