Building pg\_journal

====================

This is a PostgreSQL preload module for sending log messages directly to the

systemd journal log.

This document explains how to build pg\_journal. For usage documentation and

more info, please see the `doc/pg_journal.md` file or [read the latest version

online](http://pgxn.org/dist/pg_journal/doc/pg_journal.html).

Prerequisites:

* PostgreSQL version 9.2+ (earlier versions supported with a server patch).

* systemd v38 or newer with libsystemd-journal installed.

Quick start

-----------

To build and install this extension, simply run:

    make

    sudo make install

Then add the following line to your `postgresql.conf`:

    shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_journal'

This change requires a restart of PostgreSQL.

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).

To build and install this extension, simply run:

    % make

    % sudo make install

If you run into problems with building, see [PostgreSQL wiki for

troubleshooting](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Extension_build_troubleshooting)

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_libraries = 'pg_journal'

You need to restart your server for this to take effect. After that, log

messages are automatically sent to journal.
