pve_node_journal
Retrieve systemd journal entries from a Proxmox VE node for log inspection. Filter by time range and limit to the most recent lines.
Instructions
READ-ONLY: fetch systemd journal lines from a PVE node for log inspection.
No state change. Returns a list of journal-line strings. Narrow with since/until (timestamp format per PVE — typically epoch seconds or ISO 8601) and lastentries (most-recent N, max 5000; higher is rejected with an error). For the classic syslog view use pve_node_syslog; for one service's current state use pve_node_service_status.
