systemd Adds Built-In System Reporting With systemd-report
systemd is gaining a new reporting subsystem called systemd-report that collects static system facts and dynamic runtime metrics via a generic Varlink interface into a single timestamped JSON report. Reports can be cryptographically signed and uploaded to an HTTPS server for remote fleet management.
- systemd-report combines system facts and runtime metrics into one JSON report
- Data is gathered via Varlink from metric provider services
- Reports can be signed using three methods, including TPM and TSM quotes
- Uploads go to an HTTPS server via PUT, triggered by timers or events
