Description Yu Watanabe 2015-09-14 08:56:21 UTC
Description of problem:

As specified in systemd-journal-upload.service unit file, systemd-journal-upload command is run in user systemd-journal-upload. The default journal files can be read by users who belogs to wheel, adm, or systemd-journal. So, to success systemd-journal-upload.service unit, the user systemd-journal-upload should belong one of them. I think that the group systemd-journal is proper one, in this case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-journal-gateway-216-25.fc21.x86_64
systemd-journal-gateway-219-23.fc22.x86_64
systemd-journal-gateway-222-2.fc23.x86_64
systemd-journal-gateway-226-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always by stepping as follows.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install systemd-journal-gateway. 
2. Specify the server in journal-upload.conf
3. systemd start systemd-journal-upload.service


Actual results:

The service fail due to the daemon cannot read the journal files.

Expected results:

The service can read journal files and update it to a remote server.

Additional info:

I confirm that the service can success after I run the following command:
usermod -a -G systemd-journal systemd-journal-upload
