This utility dumps journal contents to a file and stores it as a test artifact. It also exposes an API to run queries against the journal to search for messages that were produced during the test run. .. note:: ``systemd-journald`` must be enabled on the system. .. seealso:: See the API reference of :class:`~pytest_mh.utils.journald.JournaldUtils` for more information. Simply add this utility to your role in order to use it during a test run. Everything else is fully automatic. .. code-block:: python :caption: Example: Adding journald utility to your role from pytest_mh import MultihostHost from pytest_mh.utils.journald import JournaldUtils class ExampleRole(MultihostHost[ExampleDomain]): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None: super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.journald: JournaldUtils = JournaldUtils(self.host) """ Journald utilities.
