Great idea! Didn't know they had a native export format.

so that the export can be easily munged into any supported target format. This `export` format can be immediately converted locally into either `json` or `text`, or converted back into the native binary indexed format journald uses for time-based filtering, etc. Ex -> convert to text format: > journalctl -o cat < myexport.export convert to json format: > journalctl -o json < myexport.export convert to indexed binary format and do native journalctl filtering with `systemd-journal-remote` if you want > systemd-journal-remote --output=/tmp/myexport.journal < myexport.export > journalctl --file /tmp/myexport.journal --since "2026-01-01" --until "2026-01-02" xref: edera-dev/edera-debug-report#10
