How inspect exported boot section from journalctl -b -1 > bootlog.txt in full color? Default exported format loses all colors and bold markup that is important to spot critical details.



It is possible to export to .json and some export format with journalctl -b -1 -o export > bootlog.export, but journalctl refuses to read it even if file is renamed to bootlog.journal and pointed to with -D option.



How people analyze exported journalctl data?

          You are looking for systemd-journal-remote.



          If you export a journal part to a file called foodump with:



          journalctl --output=export --lines=all --boot=-1 > foodump


          foodump will be in the Journal Export Format.



          You can then convert it back to a normal journal file with:



          systemd-journal-remote --output=foodump.journald foodump


          And view it with:



          journalctl --file=foodump.journald


          If you are on Debian Stretch you can install systemd-journal-remote with apt-get install systemd-journal-remote. In case your system doesn't recognise the command systemd-journal-remote try to execute /lib/systemd/systemd-journal-remote.



          For further information consult the manual.
