In C, sd_journal_send()/sd_journal_sendv() is the API of choice. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd_journal_print.html That said, there are other C APIs that speak the same protocol. For example, glib's logging logic will magically use systemd's native logging protocol if it is available. If you use a different programming language, there are bindings for the same protocol for various languages around (including python). > It would be great of systemd could read the string as json. JSON is complex to index properly. systemd supports a simpler "environment-variable-like" format instead. For details see link above.
