[systemd-devel] how to encrypt journalctl metadata

[Divya Thaluru]

Hi,

Journalctl stores metadata like "_UID,_GID,_CMDLINE,_SYSTEMD_CGROUP etc…"
for each message. Is there any way, can we encrypt metadata (commandline
info) so sensitive information wont be stored.

If encryption of metadata is not possible, can we disable collecting the
metadata?

  _UID=0

    _GID=0

    _SYSTEMD_SLICE=

    _BOOT_ID=

    PRIORITY=

    _CAP_EFFECTIVE=

    _MACHINE_ID=

    _TRANSPORT=

    SYSLOG_FACILITY=

    _SYSTEMD_CGROUP=

    _SYSTEMD_UNIT=

    _HOSTNAME=

    _COMM=

    _EXE=

    _PID=

    _CMDLINE=

    *MESSAGE=*

    _SOURCE_REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=

Thanks,
Divya
