Configuration

You can configure journally with different colors and formats with the ~/.journallyrc file:

{ " filters " : [ " annoyingprogram " ] , " output " : " {__realtime_timestamp.blue} {|.yellow} {syslog_identifier.green} {says.yellow} {message.green} " }

journalctl's JSON documentation can be found here or check the reference.json file in the package/repo for an example of the returned JSON object by journalctl.
