Might now have been public. Chances are that it'll get implemented in
a week or two.

I'm thinking of something like this in /etc/systemd/journal-upload.conf:
SendFields=DEPLOYMENT CPE_NAME CUSTOM1=value
where fields without a value specified would be extracted from machine-info
and os-release, and fields with a value would be send with the given value.</pre>
